Smoke Break

A Poem by Vivid Pictures

I'm sighing on a menthol, thinking life just ain't that bad.
I've gained some things I've wished I'd lost,
And lost some things I had.
But through all this, I know for sure that things just ain't that bad,
'cause the things I have in front of me, are the best that I can have.

I've got a girl who loves me, of this I know for sure,
She greets me every morning, with "I'm forever yours."
She makes my day complete, and always makes me smile,
If she were a brand of clothing, she'd be just my style.
The way I feel, when I see those eyes, is far beyond compare,
And I've got the best seat in the house, when I'm playing with her hair.

And I've got this little man, who I call Safety Sam,
And he's doing what he can do to be a little man,
So I've got a plan, and since I'm the man,
I'm gonna love this little man with all that I can,
And teach him up right, show him which way to go,
And raise him up right, like a young man should grow.

And who should know, or who should say,
I might raise the greatest kid of modern day
One that goes on to cure a disease,
Or lead an army into the fray.

My cig snubs out, I've smoked it gone.
I turn around and sleep sets on.
I shuffle back to my bedroom door,
The way I've done it all before.

When I lay down, turn out the light,
I'll text my love a kiss good night.
I close my eyes, and bed down tight,
To rendezvous with my love tonight.
And think of all the things I have,
And know that life.............just ain't that bad.
