Careful What You Wish For
Doing as I please, now that's a wish,
a wish that most people have,
a wish, you have, when everyone
wants your time and makes you mad.
But, time goes by, folks disappear,
and you miss those hectic days
when children, husband, mothers
grasped and wouldn’t let you play.
Days go by, weeks and months too
of doing just as you please
and now you remember fondly
having to do for all of these.
Just, a week again to do as I please
Ah, I know what I do………..
I cook and clean and sew for my son
Or a special man or two!
I’d feed the cat, I lost last month
I’d not deny his petting!
I’d brush his fur and hug him tight
And not sit here regretting.
No trip to Rome, or Greece or Egypt
would I value more
than seeing my whole family
waiting for me at the door.
