-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Into the morning--- Sitting at my table,
Staring out into the gorgeous garden dew,
Tapping my pen--- A cup of coffee that I brew,
Wondering now, what I am actually going to do,
What kind of chores--- What kind of duties,
What kind of morning--- What kind of evening,
The birds are freely whistling and happily in flying,
Oh--- What will be the world evening news, tonight bring.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Into the noon--- Sitting at my table,
Staring out into the tranquil goldfish pond,
Stitching my quilt--- A old pattern book I fond,
Wondering now, what I am actually trying to bond,
What kind of reading--- What kind of writing,
What kind of craft work--- What kind of of hobby,
The butterflies are freely in joyful fluttering flight,
Oh--- What will be the suspense movie be on tonight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Into the afternoon--- Sitting at my table,
Staring out into the peaceful red rose garden,
Knitting my scarf--- A fresh scone before harden,
Wondering now, what I am actually trying to pardon,
What kind of budget--- What kind of shopping,
What kind of baking--- What kind of cooking,
The new spring lambs freely jump up high and play,
Oh--- What will be the saddened curses of the new day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Into the evening--- Sitting at my table,
Staring out into the graceful tall old trees,
Folding my washing--- A cup of fresh choice tea,
Wondering now, what I am actually trying to please,
What kind of relaxation-- What kind of leisure,
What kind on contemplating--- What kind of planning,
The seasons daffodils are so brightly yellow alive,
Oh--- What will be the achievements of this nine to five.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Into the night--- Sitting on my bed,
Staring out into the deepest glitter stars of so blind,
Standing my photos--- A freshly baked bread of kind,
Wondering now, what I am actually trying to leave behind,
What kind of good rest--- What kind of tired sleep,
What kind of prayers--- What kind of dreams,
The distant a luminous moon is again on its descending,
Oh--- What will be the nature's day have as its old ending.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Into the deep night--- Lying on my bed,
Staring out into the visions of the bible's point of view,
Tucking in tight warm--- A homemade rug softened new,
Wondering now, what I am exactly steadfastly really trying to do,
What kind of passed today--- What kind of new tomorrow,
What kind of enduring--- What kind of destiny,
The fading again of the constant busy city sparkle lights,
Oh--- What will be my fate as I sleep on again tonight.
