Full Time Wife, Full Time Mom, Part Time Me

When I was younger, I had dreams of a great career 
Independent woman, no husband or children in the future for many years 
Plans unravel causing adjustments and change 
Life isn't made to be prearranged 
Many women feel as I do and see what I see 
Full time wife, full time mom, part time me 
My time alone is precious and enjoyed 
But without our children we would have a giant void 
Later in life maybe things will slow down 
Life is a lot of sink or swim, I won't allow myself to drown 
Cooking, cleaning, paying bills, busy as a bee 
Full time wife, full time mom, part time me 
Sometimes when life seems so much out of control 
There are times when I feel like a prisoner with no chance for parole 
We've had some setbacks, with very little victory 
I ask myself what changes would make me happy 
All of us ladies are a full time wife, full time mom, a part time m
