The Beat of Life Goes On

Mom got up early and is in the kitchen Preparing the breakfast for everyone Dad's still in the bathroom and is shaving And the beat of life goes on The kids are busy getting set for school One is still trying to get homework done The others are taking things really cool And the beat of life goes on Now all sit around the breakfast table To fuel themselves for the day's action Each consumes what he or she is able And the beat of life goes on Dad leaves the home for his workplace early Mom patiently checks the kids one by one To ensure that for school each is ready And the beat of life goes on Dad is at work earning his salary Kids are at school getting education Mom is at home with some chores she's busy And the beat of life goes on It's suppertime now for the family And it's filled with lively conversation Each one partakes of the meal heartily And the beat of life goes on After supper, mom tidies the kitchen Then joins the rest watching television Later, for next day each starts preparing And the beat of life goes on The kids get busy with their assignment Mom and Dad continue to linger on They chat a bit about now the day went And the beat of life goes on Then finally they all head off to bed For much needed sleep and relaxation To refresh each for the new day ahead And the beat of life goes on ------------------------------- Mom got up early and is in the kitchen Preparing the breakfast for everyone Dad's still in the bathroom and is shaving And the beat of life goes on
