It’s not been the best of days. 
I’m tired and worn
all over the place.
Had to work, forgot my lunch
what a mistake.
Somehow my friends came through serving 
some snacks, the day’s saved.
Low energy, heavy eyelids
not in the best place.
Mom’s carrot cake
blew the bad vibes away.
Thirty-two years making it okay
she’s set an incredible pace.
My wife and my kids
showing me love unrestrained.
Though the first half was tough
it ended better than okay.
