Halfway through another week,

But my brain won’t stop racing.

Full of my list and my have to’s

While I dream of everything

I’d rather be doing.

They say life is what happens

while you’re making other plans

But I’ve been trying harder

to live each day to the fullest

To hold my children tight

And show my family every day

how much they mean to me

Too many times I watch

as devastation

befalls those who neither deserve

nor contributed to their outcomes

As though fate had spun

the roulette wheel

And they bust

Tonight we ate outside

Enjoying the sun

After a week of rain

Watching as it peeked through

Then was gone, again

Live life for the sunny moments

And I’ll keep dancing in the rain
