I Wonder.....!!!

I look out the window

Seeing the fallen coconut fruit

The leaves from the orange tree

The petals from the hibiscus plant

And I thought to myself

What does this day hold for me

I wonder

I stepped out the front door

Faced with the barking of my Dog-Bliss

Sighted the neighbors goat

Heard the crowing of the landlady’s chickens

And I thought to myself

What does this day hold for me

I wonder

Walking into the street

Hearing the blaring of the school bus

Seeing the impatient Dad blaring his horns at the front gate

The already tired mum dragging her twin boys into the car

And I thought to my self

What does this day hold for me

I wonder

Sitting in front of my PC

Writing this prose/poem

Thinking to my self

What exactly does today hold for me

I wonder
