One in a Billion

I got up in time as usual.

And tried to pretend that it was just another Saturday morning.

For nearly three years, I have been wearing the blue-to work.

But today I took special care.....

..... to pick out my freshest blues from the wardrobe.

For the first time in years, I took extra care in dressing myself up.

And spent a while longer in front of the mirror.....

.....picking out those naughty little whites, peeping out of my face.

Instead of the usual starving Saturdays,

I packed a bag full of snacks.... for a long night at the desk.

The missing spring was suddenly back in my steps,

as I walked to work dressed in my brightest blues.

Throughout my life, I stayed out of the crowd,

but tonight I know for sure that......

in spite of being alone and away......

....I shall also be one in a billion :)
