DAYS

A POEM FOR TODAY - January 1st, 2014

DAYS

What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?

Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.

Note: For the past few years I've provided a quote for the day. This year, 2014, I'm going to try to provide a poem for the day.
