Autumn Patrick Poet I do not know?

I Know

I know you work every day. 
I know you come home tired, 
And I know you just want to rest.
But what about me? 
When do I get to rest?
My job is 24/7.
I don't get a break.

If our child is hungry,
I'm there.
If our child is sick,
I'm there.
If our child needs me at all,
I'm there for him.
But when I need a break,
It seems like all you want to do is pull away,
All because you're tired. 

I need time for myself too.
It's not often anymore that I get that.
I can't keep doing this day in and day out,

I

Need

My

Rest.
