Daddy's Arms
by Laury Hubrich
The sun peeked in through the drawn curtains, waking me from a restless slumber. I roused myself off the couch, where I had finally dropped off to sleep. Five hours is not much to rejuvenate this tired body. I whispered a prayer, "Another day You have made - Lord, will you please help me rejoice in it?"
I did my everyday morning activities. Meanwhile, the critter, the varmint that grabs hold of me every single day, latched on, attaching itself to my head and squeezed with all its might, with its two paws. I said, "You're not welcome here today, Old Pain."
The life-sucking varmint cried out, "I deeeelight in causing you pain, my Pprreeettttyyyyy. Just try to do your tasks today. I will torment and cajole you until you run back home, screaming for me to let go."
"Not today," I cried, "Be gone, in Jesus' Name."
"Boogertiboo - I have my talons in YOU!"
