Just an Ordinary Day
Just an ordinary day, she says,
as she looks at stacks of dishes,
picturing feather-soft pillows beckoning.
A crisis-free day so rarely occurs,
in the life of a mother, wife,
co-worker, daughter, and friend.
Dishes washed, she sighs,
at the quiet house, all asleep,
at the end of this ordinary day.

Ahh, yes. I can relate to this! When I finish the dishes at night, I definitely sigh. Last chore of the day. :)

Amy, welcome to my blog! Truthfully, dishes and I don't do battle as often as we should. Search for 'insightme86' on YouTube and you'll see what I mean!
