Is Today Sunday Lord ?

It is Sunday Lord; it used to be my favourite day.
A day that held so much surprise and joy.
A day that parents planned in the secrecy of their rooms.
A day that started early and finished late.
A day to be passed quietly amongst family and friends.
A day that brought surprise encounters and invitations.
A day where preoccupations and troubles vanished,
In the hot muggy summer days or the blustery wintry winds.
A day when our best culinary creations were enjoyed,
A day when the family lunch table increased and all were welcomed
To feast on all the favorites or simply share what was there.
A day when young and old had tales to tell, secrets to share.
A day when travel was never unpleasant and the hugs were worth the ride.
A day when work and chores were put aside, the malls and stores were silent.
A day when special events took place whether unexpected or ordinary.
A day when it seemed no one was alone.
A day to realize those family duties, visit the sick aunt, bring lunch to the old neighbor.
A day when we truly heard the birds chirp and our hearts sing.
A day that made us all anticipate the wonders of Sunday next.
A day that started with You and ended with You
Where has it all gone Lord, is today Sunday Lord?
