Devotional Memoir

Underneath

Sometimes troubles flow. Underneath.

A running series of concerns. Questions darting here and there.

Waking in the night. Persistent through the day. Disquiet, rhythmic.

Children’s needs. Aging parents. Friends’ struggles.

Natural disasters. State of the world.

Future plans, uncertain.

You name it.
