It was my last day of work <br />It had to come to an end <br />That comfortable job <br />Now long gone <br />And with it so many memories <br />My apprenticeship <br />And now, I <br />Here in my place <br />Looking to tomorrow <br />Trying to find for myself <br />Something of meaning <br />Something that matters <br /> <br />When I was a kid <br />I thought the answers would find me <br />And now I've realized <br />I'm no closer <br />To meaning than I was before <br />Except I'm just a little older now <br /> <br />I hope I can hold onto tomorrow <br />Before the present <br />Slips into eternity.<br /><br />Denis Kucharski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-last-day-of-work/
