Lazy Day
Warm sheets, and covered feet
Scared to move
For the heat could instantly fleet
Droopy eyes, and sour breath
A new day
Another tomorrow
But perhaps I'll stay in bed a little bit longer
Muscles ache, and time continues to tick
But somehow laying in bed makes it all slow down
Time stops
And energy is restored
So now I can be the person I was before
The alarm clock screeches
The ceiling fan buzzes
The dog barks a symphony but I won't budge
Simply just waiting for the sun to fall
For a new day
Another tomorrow
And maybe this time
I won’t want to stay in bed a little bit longer
And the screeching alarm will stop
And the ceiling fan will end its endless spin
And the house will fall quiet
And I’m now ready to start a new day
Another tomorrow
And a more interesting chapter
