The Woes of Limited Time To Write

A writer, a poet or even journalist would understand and know,
You can not wait for the muse to take over and words to just flow,
But life keeps you busy with work and all sorts of things to do,
You have limited time for leisurely things that belong to you.

We fall into habits to strive for that time for our postings to take flight,
Next thing you know you are staying up at all costs through the night,
Tonight, I bid my audience and comrads an early night and an adieu,
I need to rest my head and eyes that I am most surely overdue.

**but I had a glorious day outside..most of the day outside..
and an interview!
should not complain I did that national wildlife week one today
and the animal pictures took forever to find and do

HI!!! I really like this poem. We're getting ready for church- my monkey loves going- especially the music. She lasts half way through the sermon and then my better half and her go to the playroom. She- like your cherry cheeks- is clingy as her parents (too) are the only caregivers. I SHOULD BE BACK AROUND 3 PM. Sometimes she falls asleep in the car and we end up going for a Sunday drive. Laundry today (grr) like to try to keep Sundays for family. Look forward to chatting! Love you so very much.
