Procrastination.

I meant to work with elderly folks my good deed for the day Somehow I put it off...maybe another day. I meant to study the holy books upon the dusty shelf Covered now in dust and grime, waiting to teach this mind. I meant to write a poem today, at least t'was on my mind But now the day has sped on by, my poem lost to time. I meant to kick that awful habit, my daily dose of drink Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow since today is on the blink. I meant to spread a little love, share with someone today But I really wasn’t up to it, perhaps another day. I meant to sleep tonight in a bed warm and snug But all I had was a sleepless night, drunk upon the rug. I meant to have a special day after all my tasks were done, I mean to try once more before the 'morrow's sun For now I know …. regret….remorse….. I wish….and if onlys , Never, ever get things done.
