I woke this morning to a brand new day,

A chill outside, cloudy was the theme.

The sun did shine for just a moment or two,

A cup of coffee and some things to do.

Working on my writing, a story about my dad,

A walk through the park, on my way for an eye exam.

A cool breeze in the air as i make my way back home,

A sight of hopelessness on the faces from the forgotten ones.

My life is not so bad as i walk through door,

Another cup of coffee and some food sitting on my couch.

Nothing is perfect, nothing so bad,

A little sadness, sometimes happy and glad.

Words of the day, today something to say.
