Who Am I

Who am I? I’m a mother, daughter, wife, and friend, I’m a workmate, although sometimes have to pretend To be happy, smile, have fun At times I just want to hide, maybe run From people, work, situations, I don’t know why, there are no explanations I don’t like confrontations Is this normal? Other times life is great, happy and lots of fun, Plenty laughs, parties, time with my favourite son Cosy nights in, and a wee bit of loving Until the teenager walks in and we’re all left blushing! We all have our daily routines, Work, dinner, housework, you know the scene Winter makes us lazy, stay indoors, watch telly Rubbish weather, eat lots and fill our belly I can’t wait for spring, light nights, a wee bit sunshine More family time, outdoors with a glass of wine This feels normal. I know who I am. I’m a person who hates the dark, The winter, it makes me sad, lazy, uninspired I go to work, but can’t be bothered, too tired Its not lack of sleep, and I love my job, But I want to go back to bed, be a slob I need warmth, cocktails, a swimming pool Factor 30, a sun hat and food that makes me drool Well I will have to wait, its not holiday time yet Woman up, give myself a shake and grab my headset Put that smile on, be happy and don’t hide From the awkward customers and workmates, and decide Where will I book – Turkey or Crete Somewhere with soft sand for under my feet That will cheer me up, something to look forward to I don’t need to pretend, I know I’ll get through The next few months till I can get a break Away with the family, memories to make

Boy I'm with you on this. I hate the cold and dark seasons. Spring is so uplifting and so was this hopeful poem.
