Today

Can today get any happier

I saw my son and daughter

Both dressed very dapper

Today was going to be great

I put them in the car

Buckled them in well

Then played a song about Mars

Today was going to be great

Happiness filled the air

We got to the house

I put my boy in his old high chair

Today was going to be great

It was late, and the kids were sleeping 

I was awake all night

Making sure nothing was creeping

Today was going to be great

Then came a car rolling

I saw it very briefly

the explosion was hot enough to turn my eyes to molten

Today was going to be great

I wake up covered in dust

I see the house is gone 

Noting is remaining, not even the rust

Today was going to be great

I can't find my wife

I can't find my kids

eventually I did

In the ditch behind the garage, three bodies lay

Faces unrecognizable, waiting to decay

Today was going to be great
