Life's Table
As I'm sitting at life's table
Waiting to be served
A server walks up,
So I guess it's my turn
As I put in my order,
"Love, peace, and joy"
The server walks away,
I'm thinking, "oh, boy"...
"What does this mean?
They didn't even write it down.."
Before I could finish my thought,
I hear a loud sound..
I see floating stars;
A psychedelic pattern..
At this point the bad service
Doesn't even matter
My primary concern
Is the look of my face;
I can't tell if it's bad
Because the look on their face..
The server just stares,
Then once again, walks away...
I had no idea
That my life would change today
I just got hit hard
With a big plate of pain,
Which was not what I ordered
But I really can't complain...
In life we get served
What, in life, we need;
I had to take the pain
In preparation to proceed...
