Let It Be Saturday!

This is the day to sleep a little extra longer,

not rely on the subtle chime of the alarm.

Snuggle under the blankets,

allow the sun to rise in the sky.

Let it be Saturday!

~~~~~

This is the day to go for a run,

add a change of scenery

as my feet pound the pavement.

Get those miles in,

without worrying about rushing the run.

Let it be Saturday!

~~~~~

This is the day to make my own agenda,

sprinkle in some errands,

a quick excursion to the grocery store,

maybe cruise into T.J. Maxx.

Then grab a bite for lunch.

Let it be Saturday!

~~~~~

This is the day to bask in the sun,

with a book in my hands,

turning the pages,

getting lost someone else’s journey,

meeting people whom I’ll never meet.

Let it be Saturday!

~~~~~

This is the day to celebrate,

time with family

a special dinner on the deck

as the sun sets

or an evening outing

to a best-loved restaurant.

Let it be Saturday!

~~~~~

This is the day we all need

to unwind,

to chillax,

to just slow down.

Let it be Saturday!
