Daylight savings

Daylight savings, what a time . The days are longer and our bodies unwind.
Or so we think...
The clock then changes that day light savings night.
Our precious slumber is interrupted by an earlier morning light.
Then we look at that dreadful clock,
Realize what happened and can only think
"Man this sucks".

My body says sleep, even though it's 8:00.
Which immediately, I think "well this is great." (sarcastically of course)
Coffee brewing in the kitchen,
The aroma filling my nose.
You'd think coffee would be a winner, but instead
Waking up just makes me feel like
a sinner.

Then I started thinking,
Crazy that may be,
But have you ever heard someone
Brag about all the nights they got some zzzzzs?

Hear me out.
In life we look back fondly
On all that we have done.
Do we ever look back and remember,
All the sleep we had and done?

No one looks back and remembers
The nights they had great sleep.
Instead we remember the things that count
And majority of those memories are usually when
We were awake and NOT asleep.

So once again,
It's daylight savings,
And "tired" is the place most of us are in,
Yes, yes, indeed.
But we won't stay there long. Trust me, please, please.
Eventually this will change.
Memories are ready to happen for us.
They're ready to begin.


Sleep is for the birds.  When we awake,
We WIN!
