a child's smile
alarm sounds, drag out of bed
what is the weather like today
clothes, makeup, hair
the house awakens
off to the kitchen
eggs, bacon, cereal, toast, coffee, juice
cleanup, grab the bags, out the door
the commute: school, work
desk, keyboard, monitor, phone
lunch, salad, water
papers, typing, aching neck, calls
the commute: work, school
homework, dinner, game day
baths, ironing, exercise, shower
exhausted
smile, pray
tomorrow is just another day
sleep
