There Is Sunshine After The Rain - Poetry Excerpt

A Book Excerpt from There Is Sunshine After The Rain

Stop Waiting

Waiting for the special day

Don’t eat off that china

Save it

Don’t wear those diamonds

Let them sparkle when you go some place

Save your money for that rainy day

Keep cutting out pictures of places you want to go

Bucket list getting longer

Don’t sit in the living room, that’s for special guests

That new restaurant that everyone is going to

You dream of going one day

Your favorite dish is lasagna

You only eat it for special occasions

Those red bottoms or whatever shoes you saw in the magazine

You’ve seen them in the store, looked at the price tag, put them back

As you age and the reality settles in

The gray hairs appear around your temple

You got a collection building up in the garage of items for those special days

The dust is collecting on your dreams

Finally you come home

Open the windows

Let the fresh air in

New hairdo

Vacation planned

China set daily

Diamonds sparkle in each earlobe

You’re living in the now

Stop waiting and live
