sunday

we now arrive at the last day
the final of the week
sunday has many facets
exploration of those we seek

first, a day of rest
a time to sit and ponder
this is the traditional role
a rule: your rest don’t squander

also, a day of worship
for those that practice their faith
this is a time to join the others
praise and celebrate with grace

you have sunday crosswords
or maybe sunday brunch
the thing about this day
its uses, it has a bunch

but as the day goes on
it seems things do converge
because then comes sunday evening
and here we play a dirge

back to school, back to work
homework to get done
the dread and doom start building
rarely so much fun

of course these are just patterns
and they can be changed
but the truth is sunday evening
has a reputation that is stained

and that concludes the week
as you tuck into your bed
ready to start again afresh
a new path to be tread
