Time for change
Woke up this morning and realized
it was time to get outside and enjoy life
Get my face out of the computer
which felt like, twenty- four- seven
Seem's like the days and hours pass
when your screen becomes the only thing you see
Time to walk the dogs, get some air in my lungs
Feel the breeze on my face
get in touch with the human race
Wake up before the sun
drink my coffee all alone
Get my shoes, run to mom's have a laugh
Get back home take a nap
Wake up in an hour watch some TV
Get a shopping list for groceries
Run out to store beat the afternoon traffic
Passing lane just ahead won't reek havoc
Oop's turning right instead
Not thinking straight where's my head...
Get to the checkout and what do you know...
a price check on apples makes the line slow
I decide not to be in such a hurry
After all my heads out of the computer
So the rest of the evening I think about
tomorrow morning
And how it will start all over without a worry
