I’m functioning at 30% today My head feels back to front and my body the wrong way We’re at the fountains in the park First time of the year A sign for summer to be here I watch a parent as he runs around with his children, shrieking with them, laughing with them, spraying them with water to their delight Guilt washes over me as I’m not feeling quite right Heavy eyes still not quite open As the day began early with you chattering away in my ear Bouncing into bed with a cheer My expectations of the fountains set too high Hoping it would buy me a bit of time to rest and do my best after a busy week To sit and just be without doing things constantly But you want to play and of course you do so off we go into the unknown of the fountains at the start of summertime.
