My Time For Me

Missing image
 
 
 
"A woman’s jobs are never done,
they’re not like any other.
  Ahectic life I used to live,
the perfect wife and mother.

With age I’ve found comes wisdom
and a need to find some peace,
my family have grown and spread,
demands and noise now cease.

At last, the chance to please myself
for now I'm in my prime!
  Achance for me to separate,
to find my own ‘ME’ time.

To paint, to write, the choice is mine,
my days can be my own:
to fly, to seek, just to explore
the things I’ve never known.

Quiet times and solitude...
not lonely, but alone.
The choice is mine; at last I’m me,
and freedom I’ve been shown."

    This has bought a true smile from me, I feel every word now all I have to do is get the 20 something and Mr 18 realise it too. It would sure be nice to escape the garden shed now and then. Nice girl power write Sue.

    Excellent

    I bet you still listen from time to time, expecting them all to come rushing in, then sigh with relief when they don't.It is a wonderful thing to be a mother but we should never lose sight of who we are.Never to be labelled but to be unique human being.It doesn't mean that we don't love our family's but that we give them space to be unique human beings too, Ros

    And now you laze around all day
    You idle little minx
    And smile at us still buzzing round
    The riddle of the Sphynx
    So pen your lines and make us sigh
    As you explore your soul
    The chance to make the whole world cry
    Must be your highest goal
