Bryan Skeen
In the midst of schedules and unpaid bills
you sit and watch your life pass by
greeting cards and checks rummage through your hands
All in a way to raise a family
Records are a place to shelve our history
and cubby holes hold the secret of life
Over Iced Tea and Sugar cookies you stop
Resting your head on your hand you
smile at your accomplishments
