What Is A Day

What is a day?


Just 24 hours some of us say 

As the sun and moon chase each other away

The hands of the clock ticks the minutes away. 

But do any of us know 


What is a day?


All to often a day moves too fast,  

As we hurry around completing our tasks.

So how should we capture the moments that pass?

A lunchtime liason or afternoon tea?

A business appointment or daytime tv?

Finding some time to gaze up and stare,

At the blossom on trees,

Or the fruit that they bare.

Taking a moment, to show, that you care.

An evening meal, and nothing to wear!

But if we just stop, and take time to think

A day doesn't need, to be gone in a blink

So don't regret the day as it passes

But consider the question that each hour asks us,


What is a day?
