6:42am. in the morning
gotta get ready for work
but before I do, gotta make sure
the kids are off to school
still tired, didnt sleep so well last night
cried, prayed, tossed and turned
wish I could let it burn
can't make up my mind
stay home or go to work
all I keep thinking is the bills
can't be late, one foot in front of
the other, one step at a time
so early in the morning, so much stuff
on my mind, wonder if others feel this
way, have to start a new day
dont wonna eat breakfast, just shower
and put on my clothes, listen to some
music, take some medicine for my cold
its gonna be one of those days, I can
tell, I want wonna do anything
just to much on my mind,
no one here to help me this morning
no one to say it will be ok
only me as always, making it through
another day, looking at beautiful pictures
on my wall, flowers in the sun
leaves glisten with water drops
takes my thoughts to another place
on days like this I want to be
somewhere new, on a beach
sand in my toes, drink in my right hand
making new friends, meet a new man
but i'm right here, no place new
thinking of all the things today I have to do
think its time again for one of my
lunch dates alone, change my clothes
when I get home, lock the doors
get in the car, go into to town
choose a relaxing place to eat alone
as I sit here and imagine how thats gonna be
a smile creeps across my face
just maybe if I plan this day right
I will be ok, of course, as always
its just another day..............
