Then And Now

A Poem

Then And Now

Sitting on the couch,

Sipping a cup of coffee,

The sunlight streaming in from the windows.

***

Thinking about the simple times,

Us lying in bed and watching movies,

The possibilities endless.

***

Now things are messy,

More people, more heartache,

Never able to fully rest.

***

Drowning in responsibilities,

Never able to catch up,

Always planning the next task.

***

Wanting to return to those times,

Knowing it will never happen again,

No matter how hard we try.
