Tonight I found this poem browsing the net. It’s a little dated (I certainly don’t have a blue gown and don’t usually purchase lace!), but I enjoyed it – especially about the books -and thought you might, too.
A Busy Woman Dreams
Tomorrow,
With a careless air,
I shall say,
I will be gone for the day!
I shall put on my blue gown,
And in a leisured way
Go to town.
There, I shall stop
At the newly opened shop
Where they keep such lovely things,
And, in an unhurried way
Choose from some intriguing place
A richly colored robe,
Or some fine old lace;
Then, I shall browse
In the bookstand nearby,
Selecting some new book…
Tomorrow, I shall put
All waiting tasks upon the shelf
And spend one easy, carefree day
With my own self.
– Katherine Edelman
