She got up this morning.
Sun shining through the blinds
She looked herself in the mirror
Something crossed her mind.

You weren't there to see her wake
She didn't see your smile
She feels she's not seen you
Are her days worthwhile ?

Headed to work today
Saw kids running through the hallway
Looked at her plans tomorrow
Glimpsed past plans that were narrow.

She goes to sleep at night
Preparing for the days ahead.
She turns and puts her hands on the empty bed.

She got up this morning
Sun shining through the blinds
She looked herself in the mirror
Something crossed her mind.
