Perfect Day

Perfect day is when,
you can just sit
and do nothing,
without a care in
the world.

Kids are in school,
your chores are all done,
house is clean, you
have your phone turned off,
you lay down to take a nap,

and wake up well rested,
all of your perfect TV shows
are on, you just had your fill
of your favorite food,
you have no pain or anger.

Wait a minute, a day like this,
means you're probably dead,
and in heaven, but hey,
that's not a bad day,
it's a perfect day.

wrote 4-9-11

Of course in heaven you won't have to eat, or need to rest and your house (Manison) will be
clean forever and no TV or cell phones.  And you will have a perfect day forever.
If you are born again.  (Romans 10:9-14)

Interesting view of a perfect day. I have to say, that would not be a perfect day for me, because, boy, it sounds so lonely! Indeed you'd probably be dead, but it wouldn't be heaven, for heaven is a place where the air you breathe is true love. Love doesn't exist on its own. Got to have someone to love, sounds of joy of people, and especially family. That is a perfect day for me! It gets me born again every time! Those are God's blessings for me. Thanks for sharing. Caroline

Here I was thinking how perfect this day sounded until I read the last verse. Guess there would be complete serenity only when we are "perfectly dead." Amusing twist to a splendid poem, James! Love, Carolyn
