Even In Little Things

I had a quiet time to write,
But soon my peacefulness took flight.
A neighbor started talking loud.
Through my thoughts her loud voice “plowed”.

Wasted words and senseless chatter
In the ear are noise and clatter.
Save me from this chatterbox!
This stream of words I must outfox.

I asked the Lord to stop this noise
So I could write and keep my poise.
Moments later she was gone.
No longer did her talk go on.

This matter seemed to be quite small,
But God is faithful when we call.
He had helped me to stay calm.
His presence is a healing balm.

“Great is thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:23 KJV
