It really all happened today...

TODAY
Today, one tired boy couldn't make it to school.
Today, he was a little grumpy.
Today the light in the kitchen went out and
I couldn't fix it.
Today, one senior checked out of school
with mixed emotions.
Today, I wanted to spend more time with her and
Today I could not.
Today, my visitor caught me cleaning under the 
couch cushions.
Today the school called because one worried boy
wasn't feeling well before his speech and
Today they needed help
to figure it out.
Today we rushed to an appointment and
something got left behind.
Today, the newspapers couldn't get out
without my help and they were still 10 minutes late.
Today, an insensitive teacher 
made my daughter cry.
Today, the dog ran through the iris
and knocked off two of my favorite blooms still unopened.
Today they had been the only two there were.
Today I missed the concert so two tired boys could
go to bed on time.
Today I made a fool of myself at 
the front door.
Today it rained and the world felt dark
and I was alone,but
Someday......
Someday things will go better. In fact,
Someday the sun will shine and flowers will bloom
and music will ride on the breeze.
Someday I will feel calm,
quiet and content.
Someday I will remember joy....
I will even touch it.
Today I ache and I yearn and I miss
SOMEDAY.

today I looked at houses for sale in other towns and I thought, I can't wait for someday when I can buy a real house ... I think we all have days like that. Love reading your thoughts!
