If Days Were Delivered Like Parcels

©Mike Finn 2021

If days were delivered like parcels,
I would send this one back.

If life was a journey, planned and paid for,
I would fire my travel agent.

But today is the only day I’m ever offered,
served like a school meal that you eat or go hungry.

So I accept the day that’s been delivered
and make what I can of it.

Because hey, 
tomorrow might be better.
