My Sister's Complaint

As I sit and watch the seasons change
Through my dirty window pane
I think how my life is so boring
The dog is barking and my husband is snoring
My son bounces around like a jumping bean
He's the most hyper kid I've ever seen
If I had wings, I'd fly away
Even if for only a day
I'd soar through the air so free and light
Then go to a casino and play the slots all night
But it does no good to wish or complain
Guess I'll just go wash that  damn window pane

Yup yup been there done that! My hubbie protected me for 25 years and in the end I felt like "Preciuos Fare" my verse. And damn those panes of glass LOL try "Cracked but not Broken" reading and writing will free you for now, your baby is the most wonderful joy watch him! Light & Love Debbie Guzzi
