Enjoying A Summer Day Poem by Billy Loving

Body bent and scarred
From this life so hard
Earning my keep at an early age
Calloused hands turn the page
Long since retired
My time of work expired
Enjoying my book
Savoring the last sip of drink I took
Soaking up a cool breeze
Life, now one of ease
Hiding from the summer sun
Book almost done
Sleep begins to call
As my head starts to fall
Time for my afternoon knap
Laying the book in my lap
Enjoying sleep's sweet embrace
As in my dreams, I wander from place to place
