Wishing for a simpler life,

A life with time to finish tasks

Without rushing off to tackle the next

Time to watch the sun rise

Time to watch the sun set

No more burning of the midnight oil.

Sleeping in and cuddling

with my love and my pets.

Time to water the plants,

and watch them grow,

Then harvesting fruits of my labor

Instead of pouring through this drivel,

Fixing mistakes and redirecting

Wondering why documents are gone

And knowledge is lost or simply not there;

Too much overload and stress

With no goal in sight;

Ready, I’m ready for a simpler life.
