A late night slice at the end of a busy day . . .
How much time do I spend looking for things?
Today it was the box holding the stuff I stashed from my desk.
Before I went to TN, it was beside my desk,
At some point, I moved it to the back bench.
But it's no longer there!
Did I put it in the garage? No, not there!
Maybe in the laundry room? No, not there!
How about the guest bedroom? Nope, not there either!
Maybe in Blake's old bedroom? No, not there.
I give up!
Maybe, I emptied it before my trip . . .
Not likely!
I put it out of my mind and attend to other tasks.
I head to the closet to put away the toys from the church bag.
When I open the door, lo and behold, there's the box I've been seeking.
I only wish all my lost items would turn up so easily.
Sometime soon, another lost item story, but not tonight.
The call of a warm bed and a soft pillow is too strong!
I can completely connect to this! I feel like I'm always looking for "lost" things. Ha. It can be so frustrating. Like in your poem, they tend to show up when you're not thinking about it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, so glad you found it. I do put things where I just 'know' I'll remember the spot, & then of course I don't, too many things & places!
ReplyDeleteOh, the feeling of looking and looking and not finding. I am glad the box showed up.
ReplyDeleteOh this is me! I finally have a designated place for keys. I lke the poem feel to this piece.

ReplyDeleteOh, hiding things from ourselves because we put them in a really smart spot - I can relate!
