Monday Morning (This Too Shall Pass)

It's a dim, sleepy Monday morning
This too shall pass
**
I'm thankful for my job, but I don't love it
This too shall pass
**
It's almost lunch time, and I'm getting hungry
This too shall pass
**
Tonight I'll spend quality time with my son
This too shall pass
**
My daughter will play with her JV volleyball team
This too shall pass
**
Home late from the game, my wife will climb into bed,
and I'll put my arm around her
This too shall pass
**
If we speak of the day, I will highlight my victories
and hide my failures
This too shall pass
**
I may have been bombarded by temptation
any number of times today
This too shall pass
**
On some of these counts, and against my better will,
I most surely will have fallen
This too shall pass
**
From the Fall, I will have walked all day long with a limp
from the nerve damage in my leg
This too shall pass
**
Still, I can walk around just fine by myself
This too shall pass
**
Finally, body laid down to rest, I will drift off
in unconscious expectation of a new day to come
This too shall pass
**
But one night soon, my dimming eyes will shut
for the long, dark sleep of death
Beloved, this too shall pass
