Saturday


I awake alone to another lonely Saturday
But nothing’s really the matter today
Slipping in stockings without any shoes
A pot of hot coffee will turn up the juice
Corn meal Johnny cakes with sausage and gravy
A favorite I learned while still in the Navy

Turn on the laptop and login to Face book
Friends already there it's beginning to look
Up... from the horizon the morning Sun's aglow
A revealing new mood is beginning to show

Breakfast with Gabby and one of her friends
With giggles and smiles pure happiness begins
To show on my face and in innocent chatter
Oh glorious Saturday nothings the matter...

Today,
always today,
In everyway
the best day of my Life

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
