Unbridled Life-poem for a friend

Unbridled Life
by dan ankers
(A birthday poem, to a friend)

First shower of the morning is blessed

If baby soundly sleeps in bed

But often enough, and more so than not

Day begins with screaming tot

...But it's not a bad thing, either way

Just different paths to the same end

The Drive to work; I can't be late

Diane hates that sort of thing

There's traffic jams and workers blocking

Headlights out? This lukewarm coffee!

...But it's not such a terrible shame after all

Just different ways to roll the ball

Get to work with minimum hassle

Patient's late, he's such an....Apple!

Oh well that's to be expected

Prob'ly someplace eating breakfast

...But it's no great crime

Just another way to pass the time

Home at last to hang with baby

What a pleasure, this little lady

All hugs and smiles and magic grins

Her hair is full of tonight's Din-Dins

...But it's never a bad thing to stay with her

Just the best, yes I prefer

Spend some time with Mr. Hubby

And watch the angel as she sleeps

Prepare for a new day, this all over

Once that's done, go count some sheep

...But I would not have it any other way

This is how I spend my day

This is the life that I prefer

Just him and me and little girl
