Water from a nearby well

Water from a nearby well
 
A rambling of words in my notebook
to which I will weed out the excess
 
and spruce up what is left. 
That’s the given task
 
whispered in my ear
of which I have little worry or doubt,
 
as if I were being sent out with a bucket
to fetch water from a nearby well.  
 
No urgency, no fear;
one day following the next,
 
content in the small comforts afforded me.
I am yet the master of my tasks, 
 
a deeply appreciated blessing
surrendered humbly to my Lord
 
until and beyond the moment
when it shall be taken from me.
 
O child of God, when your chores are finished,
it means your duty has been fulfilled.
