Tick Tock

Tick Tock goes my clock. I'm getting closer to another work day. Another long day awaits me full of heavy labor activity. Why must I make a living this way? I'd much rather be home letting my mind roam as my creative pen flows with more poetry. Tick Tock goes my clock. Time to go. My job awaits me.

William, Your poem is quite befitting of these times. Be uplifted! Eventually, you will have your dream... after age 65... or sooner depending upon your health. Work is good for the body and soul. I know quite a few people who would love to have a job.... any kind of job... during these troubled times... many people live to work... some people work to live... And others barely live at all. God be with you. Keep writing. Happy Thanksgiving. Lovingly, Dane Ann Lovingly, Dane Ann

I think we have all felt this way at one time or another. It seems there is never enough time to do the things we love the most. Great writing! Thanks for sharing. Lolita ~ Soup mail
