just one more thing

just one more thing i tell the mechanic
about the rattle in my car underneath
just one more thing i tell the MD
about the rattle in my chest
just one more thing dear grandson
as he rattles the cage of his crib
just one more thing intoned to the chef
as he rattles the pots and pans

just one more thing a bit of slumber
before my day awakes from sleep
just one more thing maybe coffee
before i don jacket and cap to leave
just one more thing to set straight
before i go home to family loved
just one more thing to do i think
before i go off to sleep

just one more thing is all i think
about the future time to come
just one more thing for me to see
just one more thing to get to do
just one more thing i feel today
just one more thing to say to you

there never seems to be an end, and
seems as if we're never quite done
with all we want to say dear friend
that we're happy just to be with you
to share this time and these words
just one more thing to partake

love it!...I find that there become so many "just one more things" that I have forgotten the one thing I should remember..

A poem about more things, never have thought of that. I never have more things, strange that.

Hi, agoodguy2have,
...and / seems as if we're never quite done / with all we want to say dear friend / that we're happy just to be with you / to share this time and these words is what life is all about...though not just. Thanks for sharing. And, one more thing, I love the line before my day awakes from sleep.

Well said. Life is very complex

up on. We just try to prioritize it

Lovely, just lovely..., went down like a cool beer at the end of a sweaty day...

I love the repeated structure of your first two stanzas cool you took what could have been a sigh of desperation at the norm and wonderfully redirected it into a labor of love.
Just one more thing is on my mind
Please post more, encourage this joy.
