Living in the Moment

by June Sargent

As stars come out in bright array

I celebrate the end of day

with biscuits and hot tea.

The stresses of the day I shed

before I curl onto my bed

with Ginger next to me.

I dream of floating to the moon

inside a glitzy red balloon.

Just leave it all behind.

But soon I hear the bluebirds sing

as earth begins awakening.

And coffee's on my mind.

While Ginger stretches by my side,

my eyes begin to open wide.

Reality sinks in.

Another dawn, another day,

I know not what may come my way.

Just let the fun begin.
