Frustrated Freda

You may not recognize the name
But you have met her, I am sure.
She runs about trying to,
Fix and to make pure
Just when she thinks,
All is well, it’s not!
Right before her eyes,
She sees another spot.
Why can’t things stay clean?
It is such a waste;
It seems as if everywhere,
There is chaos disgrace.
She is tired and weary,
But what else can she do?
The whole world is a mess,
(You know it is true!)
So, anxious and upset
She continues, and she will stay,
So frustrated she does
Not enjoy her day.
But Jesus waits patiently for her
To admit defeat and her sin.
Then she is given a new name
As she rests in Him.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.(1 Peter 5:6-7)
