It’s three in the morning No one up but me I’m not alone though At least not in my mind Peaceful and content I think about the day past And the one almost at hand Savoring all the goodness I find While looking forward to more Don’t overlook the struggles That’s part of life, too No music is playing Quiet is all right for now The clock speaking tick-tock Admonishes me Get to bed; get your rest When you’re refreshed, you’re at your best All so true, but then I would miss this opportunity For quiet and thought Plants grow and live alone They do all right and seem content I talk to them and learn, too No one knows what’s best for you Or cares, really, what you do We all have a program If you’re willing to pay You can have your name on it Coffee will still cost two dollars a cup Refills free Stanski April 6, 2020 ^
