*Phew*

My cheap bag strap ripped last Saturday.

Coming home, things were emptied right away.

But two things that were completely missed

Hand sanitizer and digital camera were not on the mind's list.

So the bag was thrown out for the garbage man to take

While I had no idea what had been at stake

But my thoughtful dad had decided to take one last look

In case I had left a pencil, notebook, eraser, or book.

Behold! The two missing items were still there!

This entire time his ignorant son was not even aware

Until he came home late last night,

And his mother decided to stir in him a fright

By asking if she could borrow his camera for the morrow,

Awaiting his look of surprise change to sorrow.

The boy opened his drawer where the item was usually found

But then proceeded to his other bags to look around.

So his mother watched him search in vain

Until the frustration inside could no longer remain.

"You, my son, have lost your mind!

Your father found what you now cannot find."

With confusion and embarrassment he took in his hand

The lost items she placed as he began to understand

Her words of rebuke, nag, and scold.

The succinct lecture to him was told,

"Today, we've just earned a lot of money.

Be sure to say thanks to your father, sonny."

I felt too stupid and embarrassed to thank him though. I never lose things, but I don't know why I'm so prone with digital cameras!

Thanks, Dad.

Thanks, God.
