Today

by Cheryl Dunkley

That little dot on my phone

Lights up green sometimes when I’m at home,

Who is texting me, I’m excited to see

Waiting to hear from someone,

But who could this be?

When I stare at it often,

Waiting impatiently

Nothing happens.

So off I go in another direction,

Planning my day close to perfection.

One Day at a Time
