Time For Me

I want to paint, I want to craft,

I have so many blog posts in draft.

I want to go for yoga, I want to cook something fun,

I want to drink wine while reading a book under the sun.

I want to sit quiet and sip on my tea,

But I'm a mom of twins; where's the time for me?

I want to get a massage, I want to go for spa,

I want to go shopping, I want to buy a new bra.

I want to swim, I want to ski, I want to raft and canoe,

There's suddenly so much in life that I want to do.

I want to climb mountains, I want to go dive in the sea.

But I'm a mom of twins; where's the time for me?

I want to go out, I want to learn something new, 

I want to have more adults to speak to.

I want to take rest, I want to sleep,

I don't want to just wash, clean, mop, and sweep.

I used to be so calm, chilled out and carefree,

But now I'm a mom of twins; where's the time for me?

I want to eat my food in peace, I want to watch movies,

I want to take a small break from all of my duties.

I want to have breakfast lunch and dinner in bed,

I've fed them enough, now I want to be fed.

For one day I want them to just let me be,

But as a mom of twins; where's the time for me?

I want to write, I want to bake,

I want to dance and shimmy and shake.

I want to make videos, I want to travel,

I want to deck up, dress up, and dazzle.

But I'm a mom of twins, and there's so little leisure time,

Yet, I will make space for these little dreams of mine.
