Do you ever stop to think

That anything worthwhile

Takes so much preparation,

That you sometimes lose your smile?

The list could go on forever,

So I’ll cut right to the chase.

When I plan a few days away

The hours seem to race.

So much to do at the end.

Last minute packing to do.

And tidbits I need to buy

So I can survive the weekend through.

And that’s where I am on this day,

Planning for four days away.

It seems like so much work,

It takes the fun out of play.

So I am done, my tea in hand,

Relaxing as I think what to write.

Planning to be in bed by nine

So up at five won’t be a fight.

What a dream that would be.

Perhaps it can happen if I try.

So I must close this silly poem

For time is drawing nigh.

GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU!
