A Day Well Spent

I wake up and it's gray

I’m not feeling this day

So I do my very best thinking

I make a warm cup of tea

Curl up my knees and

Drink the green I love drinking

 

I eat loads of brownies

Then Wish that I didn’t

My mom told me that I’ll start shrinking

If I’ve got too much weight

From all of this chocolate

I might as well be sinking

 

But I like the warmth of being

So chubby

It’s like I am a human pillow

So I lay in bed longer

And watch more netflix

Until I’m mistaken for an armadillo

 

The night has grown old

When I begin to yawn

And think, wow, what a day well spent

You might say that I’m wrong

That I did absolutely nothing

Because you must not understand what I meant

 

While you were stressed

Over work and bills

I made sure to take off my working gloves

So that when you came home

And needed my shoulder

I could give you my rested love

 

What makes me feel the best

Isn’t the tea

Or the brownies or my favorite tv

What makes me really happy

Is when you feel happy

And when I give you the best I can be
