It’s time to do my writing, for 20 lines a day

The day is just beginning, don’t know quite what to say

The sun outside is shining, through clouds a-passing o’er

Will the sun be winning, or will it rain some more?

~

I’ve made a pot of coffee, and fed the furry cat

He ate too fast, I cleaned the mess, I really hated that.

I said goodbye to Jenny, or Jen she does prefer

Or Jennifer, she lets it slide that Jenny I call her.

~

So what will I do with today as it does roll along?

Clean and cook, take out the trash, and maybe sing a song

Traci has the day off, will spend some time with her

Don’t want to waste a moment we’ve been offered, to be sure.

~

Can’t wait to see the miracles this day will have ahead

Or maybe there’ll be stumbling blocks, but long as I’m not dead

This life I will be living with a smile upon my face

At least as much as possible, and loved ones I’ll embrace

~

I hope you’ll find the miracles in your day too, my friend

I hope that you’ll be smiling when the day comes to an end.

I hope that you’ll look back and say you’re happy you’re alive

Looking forward to tomorrow, though fifteen or eighty-five.
