While I was sleeping
Beneath the sheet
So secure knowing
I am complete

Opening my eyes
To morning light
Amazed how time flies
Knowing my plight

A week of waiting
Each seven days
Anticipating
So come what may

Rising from my bed
Looking at you
Gowned pulled overhead
And then I knew

Oh, why did I cheat,
Stepping off my scale....

Every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

Joe & Joyce thank you for reading. It seems every week I stand on the scale and I swear the thing laughs at me.
