Early Morning And A Long Day
Can I See A Show Of Hands ?
Just What I thought
Everyones hand went up
We all live busy lives
Trying to decide what to do first
Get the kids to school on time if your lucky
Wake up even earlier if your luckier
Feeling the emotion of life trickle through every thought
We get so absorbed like a sponge that fills up with water
One good squeeze and we have a gallon of water come pouring out
What makes our day complete
For me it is when my day goes smooth without a hitch
I don't want to see a limb come tumbling down from a tractor tailer who went the wrong way
No I can do without something falling on my foot in work
Ouch that smarts
It isn't broken I go on like it never happened
I like to eat a good breakfast and a sensible lunch
One that is healthier
Then again two grill cheese sandwiches with chips and a pickle
Topped off with a really cold ice tea
When we round up the day to the best thought I can think of
It was texting a friend even if it was only two minutes in total
Life is not always a glorious as it seems
Sometimes our expectations are not fullfilled
There is always tomorrow where we touch on where we left off
Another day closer to retirement and I earned my bucks today
There was a scratch ticket I didn't win
But I kept my hopes up
Just once let me see a big winner
Then again it was a chance that I take
Like getting out of bed in the morning
Finding a life worth giving and so much more worth doing
To all who have had their share of good days and bad days
I find most days fall somewhere inbetween
A little bit special and a tad disappointing
Well when tomorrow comes this day will be over
No one can say we didn't try
Life is not always about the big things
It might be something to carry me over or just in the middle mediocre at best
I find it is the glue that sticks every thing else together
Then in the end we can paste it like a puzzle
That looks easier than it is
Brighter than we thought
A memory that will be in the back of our minds
That we can compare our other days with
To see how they rate
On a one to ten scale
Ten being the best there is
Today was a seven and showed promise
Tomorrow we will just have to wait and see
If it is another seven or a ten and who knows maybe even an eleven
