There Are Still


Today is Friday

A day where all of the 

“Ahhs” should be awakening

From their slumber

But sadly,

There are still

Papers to write

And songs to practice 

And tests to study for 

There are still

Meals to be cooked

And children to be taken care of

And chores to be done 

There are still

Arguments to be held 

And yellings to endure

And ex’s to avoid at all costs

There are still

Planes to fly

And meetings to be held

And lives to be saved

There are still

Candies to be eaten

And cakes to decorate 

And restaurants to eat at 

There are still 

Friends to talk to

And boy or girl friends to see

And people to talk to 

There are still

Nice naps to be taken

And family dinners to eat

And game nights to win

There are still

Risks yet dared to be tried

And goals to be created

And dreams to be achieved

But happily, 

From their awakening 

“Ahhs” should be rejoiced

To come to realize that

Tomorrow is Saturday
