Today I sit and breathe

No lists to make

No wedding clothes to buy

No big plans and no red calendar stars

The parties are over

 

Thank God I say

Followed by a sigh

Of both content and regret

Yes the parties are over

 

And tomorrow is a new day

The first day of the rest of my life

Yes sirree Bob

And it’s all good

So I smile and share happy photos with my friends

 

But the parties are over

For now

Until the next one

 

And I really do

Thank God
