I awoke all
vim and vigor,
the day would
be full of fun!
I’d run
away to the mountains,
and devil may care I’d be;
heck the way I was feeling,
I could drive from
sea to sea!
Alas, a few hours in,
before I even started,
my vim
began to dim,
and my vigor was
long departed.
I then succumbed
to the sofa, with
my dog, and
waning vim;
Before long
all was silent,
but for
our symphony
of snoring hmmms.
Awake again,
I found it too late,
to run away
to the mountains,
much less from
sea to sea!
Instead I found,
a day of quiet:
sunshine on a
a simple walk,
a book of hope
and laughter,
I wrote a poem,
and gave thanks
in prayer,
for my happier
day ever after.
