A new day ahead

Drifting out the window

As thoughts go

By

A coffee in hand

Brunch on the table

Writer’s block

As the clock ticks on

Relaxed breath

Awaits

As time slips away

Now the rush settles in

Bags packed

Uniform on

A planned routine ahead

As I board

A rumbling tram

Motions are set

Moving forward

Music playing

Book being read

Those last hours of play and work

Hath arrived

As I serve snacks

Belonging to the afternoon

Hand out activities

Tick off names

Giggle, laugh, act out silly

Help with behaviour,

Manners and study

Day turns to night and parents bolt in

Tidy and clean

Packing and organising

A day to the close

Back I go

Towards my rumbling tram

 For home

Greeted by a meowing cat

Demanding for a

Pat, food and love

A meal upon the evening hour

 In front of the small screen

Before time comes

I stumble along to bed

Sleeping and dreaming

Of a new day ahead.
