As I woke up just this morning
I was feeling a bit distraught
Feeling somewhat overwhelmed
Filled with unforgiving thought
I jumped out of my bed
As I heard the dog begin to vomit
Tried to wrestle him out the door
While at the same time, not slip upon it
Being sick myself
This wasn’t going very well
Yet somehow we managed to get it done
And we both lived to tell the tale
That’s when it occurred to me
Perhaps I needed an assistant
For those harried times when I struggle
To have someone to help me with it
That’s when I remembered Siri
She’s right here in my phone
I needed just to mention her name
And never again would I be alone
Eager to give it a try
I started with something easy
I asked what I should do
If my coughing were getting wheezy
She gave me lots of options
There was plenty to help me out
But the more I thought about it
The more I had my doubts
I admit I was a bit surprised
When told to put a key in my wallet
After asked if she could start my car
I believe she just called me on it!
I chose to give it one more try
Just to see what she could do
So I asked her for a bedtime story
And sure enough, Siri came through
She told me about our solar system
How each of the planets are aligned
If I need help in the future
I think I’ll keep Siri in mind

What difference
Will I have made
At the end of my journey
The way that I’ve paved
What difference
Will there be
In those I have met
Or in the soul which lived in me
What difference
Will some tiny creatures know
Who from ancestral rescues
Will have been able to grow
What difference
Has my existence served
Have I lived with intention
Paid the consequences I deserved
What difference
Are these thoughts of rhyme
Will anyone know them
Once my life’s run out of time
What difference
Has come from my deeds
Have they inspired others
Have I planted positive seeds
