The days preceding until the present
Have been hard
Work has been relentless
Mentally I am drained
And physically
My body aches from the strain
But it looks
Like I may have room to breathe
As time unfolds
Giving me a look see
At the big picture
My emotions are high
But I don't know why
For at the closure of this day
It is your face I'll see
I know it
I look forward to it
For what seems like a lifetime
But alas
More things keep me away
From where I should be
Later and later I work
And your presence is kept from me
Hopefully soon I can be home
Where I can finally sleep
For all that I am
Screams for rest
My eyes are heavy
But still I trudge on
And as the day fades
So does the time of life
Slipping off into the distance
And fading into nothing
Here I can finally sleep
The eternal sleep of peace
With no worries, no work, no heartache
