At home, pasta from a can
Queen Weariness begins her pull
To the sheets where it all began

    The world on my shoulders, a smile on my face
    The girl in the mirror is hard to embrace
    I'm a mother of three, yet I tend to

    A day in my life
    A sky of often-grey
    A never-lifting cloud
    An endless fall of rain

    A bout of shining sun
