Long Queue: A Whisper of Reflection

As usual, the lines were long, and there I was, standing in queue. I went next to the grocery store for shopping. Oops, wait a minute! Can you hear it? My mind’s been running with random thoughts. Yay! Finally, I’m home—a whisper of reflection:

As I waited in the long line,
I tried to discern
What blessing there is
In this tiring day as it appears.

"Pay the bills and buy these.
Don't forget the tissue, please!"
Such common yet many orders
That could make my patience shorter.

"So where is the blessing?"
I asked myself while standing.
"Aha! I have found it!
I've finally caught a glimpse of it."

The blessing is there;
It's the blessing to serve others.
By following their orders,
I've been showing them graces.

Isn't it wonderful
That I am able to fulfill
Such a godly obligation
With which Christians are commissioned.
