(In a tense sort of way)
Walking with tacks
In my shoes everyday
Always more to do
Nothing left alone
Work to keep from drowning
Weary to the bone

Smiling bouncy baby
Tickles me, I grin
Tough tho life can be
I'd do it yet again
Old before my time
Wrinkles crease my face
Joy sets like rainbows
Time cannot erase

Workday leaves me bent
Pale tired cold and worn
Pillow be my refuge
Rest until the morn
WAKE UP cries the Baby
Feed me Hold me tight
Wearily I smile and share
With Baby full moonlight
Life I think is moments
This one sweet and small
Bathed in winter's glowing
This is Life that's all
I remember Baby
Kiss soft downy head
Baby's shed his pram
Young man's clothes instead

See him as he strides
Confidence with style
Living Life in moments
Cocky knowing smile
Blue sky set above
Green grass moist below
Sweet breeze carries birdsong
Now is all I know
I can't taste the future
Past not mine to hear
Living in this moment
Life is now and here
I'll take every snippet
Savor every bite
Life of ease or hardship
Living's the delight

Then I get a notice that you have
something you would like to say
I take a moment to slow up
and see what you have to share
And then my day is brightened
by these words your message bears
Thank you for this moment
