Dear God,
please untie the knots
that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.
Remove the have nots,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.
Erase the will nots,
may nots, and
might nots that find
a home in my heart.
Release me from the could nots,
would nots and
should nots that obstruct my life.
And most of all, dear God,
I ask that you remove from my mind
my heart and my life all of the am nots
that I have allowed to hold me back,
especially the thought
that I am not good enough.
Amen.

Michael,
Thank you for posting this. It was very uplifting. I just read it to your Mom and my parents at the lovely breakfast she just treated us to. It was a perfect complement to the service we just attended together at The Fransiscan Renewal Center (www.TheCasa.org). Keep up the exceptionally positive writing/ inspiration with your blog and it's path to becoming a book to help people.
Your cousin,

Thank you cousin, for your positive feedback. Yes, the Franciscan Renewal Center is one of my favorite places. I am glad that you got to spend some quality time with my mother today.
My mother will be the first one to tell you that I am not the fastest typist. In order to accelerate the process of writing, I just purchased a new laptop and voice recognition software. I can't believe my eyes, however, this response to you is hands-free. I feel like I am in the twilight zone. I look forward to spending quality time with you in the future.
Once the book is complete, I will have free time again and look forward to seeing you. Please give hugs to your family. A
