Before I Go To BedA Poem by David Keagan
I puff the smoke of a cigarette that burns like the time bestowed.
Taking a last puff as it reaches it's end, I than step on the butt to assure myself that it's disposed. Up the creaking stairs I make my way, To a solid door laid shut before me. I make my way to the bed hoping I don't wake her, She looks so angelic. I kiss her on the forehead as she faces me peacefully dreaming. What do I have to give to the man upstairs who has given me everything I could dream for? To live each day like it's my last, and plan for better tomorrows. My head hits the pillow, that comforting, warm place. I than shut my eyes, in anticipation for the morning's wake.
