Everyday Is Different

I awake each morn to chase the clock In the race from nine to five, And firmly placed am I,in this dramatic flow, Upon my flight to stay alive. I peruse the paper with my morning cup And digest what yesterday has brought— I see who has died, what public trust has lied, And what war is being fought. I must trudge all day to sustain my way And earn a meagre wage. I display myself in moderate form To suppress my inner rage. I am a slave at best to my routines; I accept the clime that has no change; I place my hopes upon my dreams, But good fortune is somewhat strange. I can see that every day is different, Yet they bring a tedious tone, Whether I am labouring at my daily task Or resting wearily at home. The sun may shine upon this day; Tomorrow it may rain, But as every day is different, So are they the same!

Robert: You've peered inside every man's day and picked out the highlights to share what you saw there in his heart. Thank you for sharing this with all of us on the soup. oldbuck
