Warm Inside

there are days, though few and far between, where i feel a warmth inside of me. i wish i knew how to make it stay, for it always leaves too soon. and the times in between are getting longer, which makes me yearn for the happiness even more. today i fought a battle with several cable wires, a t.v., a vcr/dvd player and my teenager yelling that i'm not doing it right. today i woke up which means for the first time in days i'd finally slept. today wasn't bad. i didn't win the lottery. i didn't find the perfect mate. but i found some inner peace. just a tiny corner in this troubled mind of mine. it was nice and i want so many more of these days and to never let them go, but i know i have no control anymore. all i can do is pray that tomorrow it won't rain on this okay parade of mine.
