How Was Your Day?

Until you're asked the question
it's amazing how you never knew
that this simple question
can have such an effect on you.

Someone cared to ask it.
Someone wants to know.
Was your day quite tragic
or only just so so?

Did your day start madly
but then end up so sweet?
Did your day begin with smiles
but end in utter defeat?

Did you do what you wanted
or did something pass you by?
Did your memory become haunted
by things that make you cry?

Did you have time for lunch
or was it a snack at your desk?
Did your boss listen to your hunch
or was it just another test?


Until you're asked the question
it's amazing how you never knew
that "How was your day?" could
be the best question asked of you.

Someone is on the receiving end
to hang on every word.
Someone who cared enough to ask
and won't find your answer at all absurd.
