Feeling Optimistic Today

Friday again! T G I F!

Expectations even for the blind and deaf

Everyone looking forward to a bright weekend

Laughter with the family, time with a friend

I wonder why all the excitement

Nothing more that doing things weekdays prevent

Got those who long to go to church for fellowship

Only one day a week!? What God do they worship?

People play cricket and by sun down

They pull stumps, leave and then comes the frown

Intimidated by the pending defeat

Miserable on the job, weekend again they compete

I hear the plans for the wash to done

So many hoping to catch the sun

The pressing, the gardening and general cleaning too

I keep hearing of how much work they have to do

Come Monday people generally seem drain’

This recurs in job places again and again

Optimism? Yes, I’m feeling optimistic today

Doing the most I can everyday, in every way

And never thinking or waiting for weekends

Yesterday I learnt that every day is for family and friends
