A Holiday, Forgot

She saw the train as she stepped out her car Then ran like hell to board before doors shut She flailed her arms and legs like crazy, but The station proved to be a bit too far... Her thoughts turned dark; she'd be let go for sure What should she tell her kids about her job She bit her lip to think of how they'd sob How would she make ends meet, she'd be so poor Just then she smiled and suddenly snapped to This was a special day that she'd forgot A holiday for which she'd so long fought Reprieves from fate are often far too few A Merry Christmas in July to her and you!

I like this, Gershon. My common dreams were about going to write an important exam paper and being late or even being told, Sorry! It was yesterday! That was many years ago!

It perhaps seems like just yesterday, doesn't it? It's all in the perception, I say. :) Gershon

I have woken up a couple of times thinking I had better get up and get ready for work - then remembered it was my day off! Sweetest feeling ever!
