This was not how it was to go.
You are not the person I wanted to know.
I thought I was done.
I thought we were through.
But this car won't start
No matter what I do.
Calm down and wait,
Waving others to pass.
Stranded in the turn lane
Pray it won't last.
Waiting for a rescue,
I call out for help.
It's getting hot in here
When I am all by myself.
Try to focus on everything else
I'm getting a good education
I have opportunity
For other salvations.
Don't curse at fate.
My savior will come eventually.
For now I must wait
Staring down at my keys.
I was warned this might happen,
But I didn't want to test.
To push it to a limit
To risk missing my best
Chance
To get out, a hope to get through
Now that I've learned
What do I do?
I sigh in resignation,
Engage the ignition.
It sputters but holds,
Sparking faith in my mission
I whisper a prayer,
To God with fervent gratitude.
Sometimes it takes a broken vehicle
For me to recall a thankful attitude.
