Ordinary Day

Nicola Hitchcock


Across the common
Leaves sway
I walk across the common
Children play
An ordinary day

I feel the ground 
Beneath my feet solid
I feel the air 
Circulate around me
Across the common children play
She's got a check blanket 
Underneath her body
She's got suntan lotion
Feels no pain
An ordinary day
Across the common

I pray

Baby cries
Hasn't got 
The sweet he wanted
Mother smiles
Just an ordinary day
