Flowers Blossom
Breeze flows over me
It was a long night, where sleep was scarce
But I feel great, kissing the foreheads of tiny humans snuggled with me!
Sun shines bright
Clearing out the day for a run or a walk
My hands feel numb from scrubbing the week’s gloom
But I feel great, holding on to the tiny hands giggling over an old joke!
Lunches are ready,
Breakfast is delayed,
Laundry is still wet, wear your sister’s socks,
For there is not a moment to spare,
Ms. Nelli is always on time, with her yellow beast
Pajamas and slippers my hair is always a mess.
But I feel great, waving to the big smiles!
A sneeze, a 15 seconds cough
Shivers down aging limbs
Aching for a long nap,
Driving past home, I reach the store
Filling up the cart with healthy edibles
Not today, no time to fall sick
But I feel great, filling up a bag of red delicious apples!
They need me here
But I need this too
Why bother working, you have it all
Because I know what it is like to have nothing at all
I feel great. How about you!
