Questions of Life
Sitting here at work day in day out,
Running my machine mind filled with doubt.
Wondering, pondering about what I’ve become,
Have I done things right? All my task overcome?
Am I happy where I am? Is this what I want to do?
If I could change one thing, would I even want to?
So many questions cloud my mind,
Like the city smog from the daily grind.
Then out of the blue comes a vision so clear,
It sets my mind at rest as the questions disappear.
I see my two children sitting in my lap,
All passed out in my chair taking a nap.
Then I remember why I am where I am,
It’s for my children. It’s all about them.
So I’ll put my mind to rest for now,
Until I ask again what, where, when, why and how.
