When Someday Arrives



I'll do those chores tomorrow
Or maybe by next week.
It will not cause me sorrow
Since peace of mind, I seek.

I find my peace in nature,
When Summer wind blows through
The trees that help me later
 With every window view.

I'll get to my chores someday
And maybe then I will
Be less enthralled despite the way
That nature makes me feel.
