beautiful day

it's a beautiful day
and in a way
I've been out to play
wish I could stay
and if I may
I'd like to say
this is a day
for which we pray

day by day

day by day
as here I stay
you walk away
into the fray
without delay
and I'm not ok
but must relay
all that I say
day by day

thing one and thing two

thing one and thing two
no longer red, now blue

everything they
are getting into

causes strife
through and through

leaving my heart
in a daily stew

released

being released
is a relief

getting back to
activity is chief

I'll forego the whining
and the grief

and start turning over
a new leaf

rhyme time

wasting time
trying to rhyme
is no crime
though not sublime
is a past-time
that i'm
doing in meantime

new school year

the start of a new school year
I can't believe it's already here

I'm not sure that I can bear
all the craziness that is in the air

not much time left for son at home
I guess it's just mommy syndrome

soon enough the year will be done
and I'll wonder where it has gone

plodding along

don't know what lies ahead
sometimes I feel better off dead

things are tough and it often seems
I just want to escape in my dreams

but it can't be done, not for real
so I stick it out until

the end is here, don't know when
but keep plodding until then
