This was the Saturday where the summer was
where the sun shone
and we played and went to village fetes
Saturday was the day we lived for
the day we reached out for from the darkest of Wednesdays
we shopped and cooked and prepared
This was the day of boundless energies
This was the Sunday where the roast dinners where
where we rested
watched television
we played and had fun
and slept-in until noon and no-one cared
and where we had to say good bye to the loved ones we'd visited
and get trains
and take long car journeys
and then, in the evening
we had to get everything ready for the morning
this was the day for the week to begin
This was the Monday where the weekend had ended
This was the back to school day
the back to work
the enevitable morning that you didn't want to happen
the day you had to catch up on
the day it didn't matter if the sun shone
the day when all you had was a head full of memories
This was the day you had commitments
This was the Tuesday we got into the swing of things
at school with all our mates
at work we were up and running
the day when the memories of the weekend passed began to fade
and the weekend ahead seemed so far away
there was no point thinking about it
the day of work that never mattered
This was the nothing day
This is the Wednesday where the darkness was
This was the day where you were so absorbed by work
where you had deadlines to meet
your pile of homework was growing
but you tried to find a life for yourself
the day of trying to finding a balance
This was the day of towing the line
This was the Thursday that brought hope
this was the day you could smell the weekend ahead
where you dared to make plans
maybe book something
provisionally agree to meet up
This was the day when you noticed the the tunnel actually had a light at the end of it!
And this was the Friday that was almost the weekend
the day that wasn't the weekend but tasted like it
this was the day of school but with the thought of staying up late
a day of work but with the thought of a night out - hang the consequences!
This was the day where the weekend started
And then ..
this was the weekend!
