I wish I washed

I wish I washed my mind today
and dried it out with moral sway
rinsed it twice with forgiveness scent
and folded it neatly with time well spent

But instead I raced around
stuck my nose right to the ground
yelled at creatures large and small
and cursed my neighbors I had gall.

So tomorrow, another day
and time to wash the dirt away
spending time with bleach and soap
rinsing twice with faith and hope

I wish I washed my mind today
and dried it out with moral sway
rinsed it twice with forgiveness scent
and folded it neatly with time well spent
