Stand Still

There are some days when I just want time to stand still.
I want to savor the moment,
Drinking in the sweetness of laughter,
Talking,
Friendship.
Enjoy life.
Not have to worry about writing an essay over The Scarlet Letter
or what theme "The Crucible" has.
Wouldn't it be splendid to be able to come home
and not have to worry about what's due tomorrow?
Or that test I should study for?
Wouldn't it be splendid to think
"why don't I just make supper?"
"visit htat little kid from church?"
"write my gran a letter?"
and yet, I do this work instead.
And I try to do the other as well.
Which sometimes works,
And sometimes just makes me very tired.
