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.
