If I Had the Time, This Hour

If I have the time this hour, I'd be cradled in your loving arms, Safe from things that'll bring me harm, Next I'd take a relaxing shower. Then I'd get ready to start my day, and get the kids up and ready for school. I'd put on my uniform that's not very cool. We all are dressed and on our merry way. My job can be hectic and hard, but it has rewards,in the form of a smile, For the smile of a kid, I'd walk a long mile. A kind "Thank You" is their trump card My work day has came to an end. But I arrive home, my other job begins, Because I'm greeted by the twins. Then I wait for your arrival my best friend. 12/12/19 Contest: If I have the Time For an Enclosed Rhyme Sponsor: Tania Kitchin

Hi Caren, I don't have twins. I needed something to rhyme with begin.That part is fiction. I have a boy and a girl. They are close in age and they look alike. I appreciate you being the first to comment on my poem.
