The Weekend
By Don Iannone

Everyone awaits
the weekend,
That special resting
place and time
away from our work.

Saturday and Sunday,
Just two meager days
to re-group,
tend to ourselves,
reflect, and maybe play.

For many,
the weekend is...
a designated time
to escape our suffering
about our work.

A time for...
hopefully,
relaxation,
joy and...
yes laughter.

And a time
when we, hopefully,
allow ourselves to
forget about...time.
