cast all your cares upon me

feeling blue,
actually purple and
bruised
emotionally, you
dust off your shelf
of self help
religious books
and start browsing
through. looking
lazily for a phrase,
a proverb, a line
of wisdom to get
you through the day.
fortunately you've
underlined in black
marker many of the books
when the chips were
down, so it's
easy to fetch some
quick and easy help.
cast all your cares
upon me, is the one
you grab hold of
and leave the house
with today. you're
running late, so
it will have to do.
