MONDAY MONDAY

MONDAY, MONDAY 

So here we are – it’s Monday

Another week is dawning,

I wonder what the news will hold,

What joy or what dread warning?

I wonder what this week will hold

For those I love and me.

But I know there will be comfort

Under friendship’s sheltering tree.

I guess there will be laughter,

Tears and memories in this week

And I know that I shall also find

The courage that I seek.

There will be friends and company,

Food and shelter and some rest.

Work to do and challenges to be met

And things to put me to the test.

When this week is over 

And its lessons have been learned

I hope that I have found the peace

For which I’ve often yearned.

Soon it will be Monday 

And another week will start

Another week of memories

Stored within my heart.
