Before I Go To Bed

Before I Go To Bed

A 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.

Like endin gthe day in joy, getting through sleep as fast as possible just to wake up and enjoy what life has to offer.

Like eating a sweedish fish. Life just don't get no better.
