The Measure of My Days
by Brian Kunde

In measured steps I pace my way
From car to work and back each day,
And in between I earn our bread,
And after eat, and go to bed
To dream of all for which we yearn,
But can’t afford on what I earn;
So every morning I arise,
To dress and eat, say my goodbyes,
Get in the car and run that track
So long well-worn, to take a whack
Again at that old nine-to-five
That roofs and keeps us all alive,
And park and pace my measured way
From car to work yet one more day.
