What I Accomplished Today
Woke up this morning,
To a bright, cheerful day,
And this is what I accomplished today:
Sat down with my Bible,
took time to pray.
Asked for God's guidance,
and blessings for the day.
Ate pancakes and bacon,
(a rare breakfast treat),
then showered and dressed,
made the house neat.
Picked up my cell phone,
called daughter-in-law Ann,
for news of the grandkids,
and of my son, Dan.
Got on the computer,
checked my e-mail.
Paid a few bills,
then without fail,
opened up Facebook,
to read all the posts.
(Well, maybe not all,
just the ones I liked most.)
While at my computer,
I visited the "Soup",
read a few poems,
made a comment or two.
I wrote a poem,
about being a bird.
Entered a contest,
with my confidence stirred.
Called my mother,
had a wonderful chat.
Noting the time,
I then fed the cat.
Hubby came home,
and I fixed a nice meal,
of baked chicken and broccoli,
not a big deal.
When the dishes were done,
I watched some T.V.,
then called it a night,
said my prayers,
went to sleep.
