I was just in the kitchen chopping lettuce and carrots 

Cucumbers and tomatoes 

I was thinking about my parents 

And about where time goes

I also made a bean salad

While listening to a somber ballad 

Sometimes my heart feels like Lamentations

When I think about my own shortcomings and the state of all the nations

Most days I side with Ecclesiastes 

I toss some olives in the salad too

I eat a few tortilla chips 

They satisfy, exactly

But I’m trying to go Mediterranean 

How do You always know what I’m thinkin’?

I didn’t go to church today but I listened to the sermon 

I’m not sure how everything fits together 

Life is like a salad 

My soul’s yearnin’

I’m wilted from thinking about it all 

I grab a drink

I trust You provide everything I need 

And I just wanna say thanks
