Here I sit alone, looking out
Of the window and with the
Exception of the trees and
Flowers see nothing but
Gray. It has already rained
And more is expected.
It is typical this time of year
People on vacation are
Disappointed and feeling
Like they should have stayed
At home. They didn’t however and
Now must bear the consequences
Of their decisions. They can
Sit around the table and play
Games or just talk about things
Important to them or about
Previous vacations they have
Enjoyed. Life is a mystery. We
Never know for sure where its
Paths will take us. If we are
Lucky the trip will be joyous
But as is the case this year
The road is rough and troublesome.
