Survived Another Day

​Seems the day is crumbling
before the sunrise even starts
and the motivational coffee is brewed.
Smiling perseverance to hold the glow
of believing in the kind goodness.
 
Walking to a destination
not sure now of arrival
due to unexpected barricades
that may end it all.
Chipper steps need to be taken
to sit comfortably
and breath in the air of delight.
 
Being led down a road
by other's greedy agendas
just to make a living
where family exists
not knowing when it may
seize to being.
 
The worries of the home
collapsing from the hidden
lives of the unpredictable young.
Still there is love
in the hugs and kisses good night.
 
As we lay in bed after
and go to sleep at the
end of each peaceful night
we dream in celebration
as another day was survived.
