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 :)
