Poetry: Dreams & hope

I do

I don't know if I'll get up tomorrow;
but if I get up, it's historical;
I'll be freely peeling, potatoes; cutting on-
ions and garlic; slicing tomatoes; con-
cisely. I don't know if I'll see the dawn aglow,
tomorrow; if I do, I'll wash my clothing,
my children's practical clothing, my husband's laundry;
drying my clothes, washing the bath, relaxing, in
bubbles of lavender soak, double the feel;
tidy up paper collections, classified;
putting my books in the luggage, in nooks; cleaning the
tables. I'll mop my kitchen; properly; cleaning the
toilet. Watch television with my mama;
hoping to avoid mistime, before my time.

    The wave crashes over me
    And destroys everything in its path.
    Funny how its always on time,
    Just like the changing tides.

    We all hold dreams to cherish

    In life upon mother earth

    Let's help each other flourish
