A Learned Lesson
Beep beep beep
The alarm wakens him
The traditions of the morning take place
He kisses his wife and kids, just like any other day
And off to work he goes
As the morning turns to noon, and the noon into night,
The cycle once again begins.
Beep beep beep
The alarm awakens him
His eyes open to an empty bed
Walking downstairs he notices the desertion of his house
In panic he runs outside
Turning around in circles, surrounded by nothing and no one
Alone…he surrenders to his knees.
Beep beep beep
The alarm awakens him
His wife in his arms, his kids by his side
“A second chance?” he thought
A second chance to not take for granted his blessed life
To give every part of himself to the ones who need it
To be, never again, alone.
