Everyday Race

Places to go and things to do
We each find ourselves in the
Everyday race.
Quiet moments are quickly
becoming
Stolen moments of peace.
The human race needs quiet
time to rest the weary soul.
Step softly from the everyday
race.
Seek quiet grace to meditate.
That is what a Sunday stood for
A day in which to rest from our
scheduled chores.
A day for prayer and worship
Today we think this is a sacrifice
A loss of personal time
Yet if we really see, it was and
still can be
A day acquired for each one that
will choose this escape from the
Everyday race.
