For the Plays
The sun has barely risen,
Do i crawl out of bed?
I have to make a decision.
Should i just play dead?
My bed is so comfortable,
And my class is so cold.
If I were able,
I'd stay in bed till i grew old.
Time is passing,
And still I lay.
I'll need coffee or I'll be crashing
By just mid-day.
I stretch my arms,
And plant my feet on the floor.
I dress in something warm,
And I'm out the door.
I swing my backpack over my shoulder,
for the millionth time.
Each day I get older,
But then a thought comes to my mind.
A few years from now,
I'll be living my dream,
In a theater, in a town
Working the lighting machine.
Dramatic lighting
For plays and shows.
Like Mary Poppins, or The Lion King,
Or Anything Goes.
So that is my reason
For rising each day.
No matter how harsh the season,
I'll do it for the plays.
