Notes About The Poem

What I Accomplished Today

The bright sun chasing night awakes me with delight
Arising from my sleepy state is a terrible plight  

Dragging forth to brush my tangled pressed down gray hair
Eyes barely open, stumble forth needing java juice and air  

Turned on the computer to check emails and such
Drinking decaf coffee and answering emails but no rush

Breakfast soon was eaten devotion time swiftly spent
A few chores to straighten the house and even make a small dent

Bath time my daily spa, let the warmth penetrate
Dressed, ready to go ~let me face the day and not be late

A few errands need to be handled while in town
Lunch with my husband gives no reason to cause a frown

Grocery shopping to stock up on cleaning supplies and food
A task not really enjoyed but I let some joy exude

Afterwards I needed some rest and quiet time
Watching a movie that was not the best which was a crime

Facing the inevitable soon came to our life
Putting Cody on the Greyhound  cut me like a sharp knife

Bedtime very late exhausted from the busy day
Tomorrow will be another list hopes of time to play
