Monday thoughts

Sitting at the table with my laptop and mouse,

Listening to the noises around the house.

The sound of a lawnmower in a neighbours garden,

The day is getting darker, I had better put the light on.

Children talking loudly, the house is getting colder,

My hands need some warmth, I wonder what is for dinner.

Maybe I should make a nice cup of tea,

Sit here, enjoy it and let its warmth embrace me.

Feeling happy and content as the house is peaceful,

Daddy is entertaining, it is quite delightful.

They say, happy kids, happy mum they are quite right,

But I do hope they go straight to bed tonight.

I’m sat here now thinking and regretting,

I did’nt buy enough milk when I went shopping.

Must get my lazy bones to the shops, but I’m content here,

But the sooner I go, the sooner I’ll be back, no need for fear.

So listening to the sounds, I can hear daddy,

Playing with the kids, my happy family.
