The Way You Feel
Beyond Tired
So happy to be home
My feet are sore and my eyes are three quarters shut
I don't remember the last half hour of my drive
On auto pilot most of the way
A day of work like so many others
Giving my all and feeling physically and emotionally drained
I could not do any more if I tried
Then I repeat to myself
That's a job well done
As I press on to do just a few more things
My eyes squint as I type my last few words
I feel proud that I had such a productive day
After a nice hot shower my troubles get all washed away
During my night I worked with friends I have known for years
We do a dance a kind of you lead and I follow
Then it's my turn I lead and you follow
A give and take that is so important
For one simple reason
We get things done
Back at the ranch the rain is coming down harder than ever
Boy do I love the sound of rain
Soon I will be asleep
There won't be a care in the world for at least fifteen miles
As my head sinks slowly deep my soft pillow
All I know is that all my thoughts have turned into marshmallows
Little tiny marshmallows for all to eat
Yes there sweet and a great treat
Something we all have had at one time or another
Soft and chewy and just the right size
Popping them in my mouth one at a time
Until I have had my fill
Then this night will also fade and my calories will disappear months later
How I love it
When we all get along and become the best of friends
