Nothing Big.

Goldfinch60



Each night we go to bed we ask for nothing,

Ask for nothing big.

We just want to wake up in the morning,

One more day waking up,

Waking up beside each other.

We have no big dreams,

But all we ask each day

Is to wake up one more day,

One more day with each other

So we have more time with each other.

    A poem of both gratitude and desire. One day at a time a carpe diem. Nicely written my friend

        Good write Gold. A negative attitude in asking, in prayers or any sort of asking, is: 'Don't expect or ask for anything big, then you won't be disappointed if you only get something small'. Doh!
