How I Hate Laundry

O, Laundry, Laundry! How I hate Laundry

I did not realize before

How I just drag and drag

Without seeing them in the wash

I do not know the reason

Perhaps, it's simply because

The washer is in the garage

Yes, the washer is in the garage

All the way on the other side

I need to take Laundry over 

to that other side

Passing both of our cars 

without much space to squeeze by

Oh, how I hate that feeling

the feeling of my pants 

Touching the sides of the cars

Seeing more laundry on the way

with my pants in the tray

I do not know about you

But for us it is true

Our garage is not clean

So if you ever drop a sock

More Laundry is to do

O, Laundry laundry! How I hate Laundry

I did not realize before

How I just drag and drag

Without seeing them in the wash

I do not know the reason

Perhaps, it's simply because

No one ever appreciate

Yes, Laundry is a job

That no one appreciate

No one even realize

You are doing the Laundry

You are doing it for them 

Each and everyday 

Or, if you are like me

Maybe every now and then

Oh, no, no one would take notice

Not until that lucky day 

The day that they saw them 

All cleaned but on the sofa

Without being fold away

Or the day when they found out

They are out of clean clothing

For that very same day

Then they realize 

Laundry is not done

O, Laundry Laundry! How I hate laundry

I did not realize before

How I just drag and drag

without seeing them in the wash

I do not know the reason

Perhaps, it is because 

it is a job with no end

Yes, it is a job with no end

This minute you think you are done

The next you see a sock or a pair of pants

right in that basket you just emptied

Perhaps, it is the sock you just drop

On that dirty garage floor

But perhaps it is not.

It is just because, with a family of five, 

There is no end to dirty socks

Yes, there is no end to dirty socks

Not until the end of days

When sin is removed from the Earth

When earth no longer equals to dirt

But please do not quote me on this

I have not read my book of Revelations

But it just seems about right

That we will all dress in white

That is brighter than any earthly white

That is brighter than sunlight

It just sounds about right

That white should come from the Righteous King

Who washed our sin away

And not from any laundry

That we could do today

With that being said

And that day hasn't come

I know deep in my heart

No matter how I hate laundry

I should not just drag and drag

Without seeing them in the wash

For it just gets pile up

Doing me not any good

With writing all these down

God seems to be telling me

Laundry maybe mundane and tiny

But with these littlest tasks,

He is training me to face obstacles

Whether it is real or mental

they are not good enough reasons

for waiting another seasons

He also needs me to learn

Not to work for praises

Or other form of rewards

Endurance and faithfulness 

Is what He wants from me instead




May God grant me the discipline

To do the Laundry 

in a much more timely way
May my family never ceases to have

clean clothing available in their closet

until the end of days

Amen
