Momma said there’ll be days like these.

Some days,

Seem longer than others

Moving so fast, they spin your wheels

Like tiny toy cars over a looping track.

Endlessly twirling, threatening to throw you off track.

But seemingly last an eternity.

Other days,

Filled with love and joy

Come and go in a hurry

Getting you through those longer days

One tiny sparkle at a time,

Yet leaving so suddenly,

As if they had better places to be.

Then there are days,

You wish had never come

Leave you with only regrets

Wondering if your life choices

were wrong again

If you should have chosen

the road less traveled.

One day,

You won't wish for Friday

On Monday morning.

Or that your babies

would still be babies.

Won't wish that life

had given you better cards.

Some day,

Dreams will come true

Bucket lists will be fulfilled

Your nests will be emptied

Only to be filled

with the next generation

But not today.

Perhaps tomorrow...
