My day of rest eludes me
Body and mind beg to take a break
I'd rather exercise hours at the gym
Than chase kids till I begin to shake.
*
My day of rest is planned
Their dad says I deserve some peace
I'll settle with Starbucks coffee in my hand
Will that make my shakes increase?
*
My day of rest has come
Little ones cry and beg
Momma, take me with you
And grip me tightly round each leg.
