Five o’clock is here
the alarm is calling.
Up for a shower and
bit of morning news.
A hot cup of tea first
then I’m out the door.
Smell of wet grass and
dew slick on my shoes.

Thirty minute drive
then I’m at the shop.
Unlock the doors and
put the coffee on.
Baking lots of pastries
filling up the case.
Faces in the window
quiet time is gone.

Filling orders quick
getting my work done.
People coming in and
the phone starts to ring.
Running back and forth
wishing for six arms.
Full sheet fall flowers
now I’m in full swing.

Can’t stop for lunch time
way to much to do.
Hours on my feet
before my job is done.
Thirty minute drive
time to get the kids.
Head for the house and
homework by the ton.

Time to fix our meal
something that is quick.
Washing up the plates
tired to the bone.
Now time to kiss and
send the kids to bed.
The house is silent
and we are alone.

We snuggle up close
and talk for a while.
You hug me real tight
give a kiss or two.
I don’t mind hard work
being worn each day.
Because I can love and
share my life with you.
