Lilac mornings
No time to embrace the light
Picking up my pace
No time to let by
Smalls heads on pillows

My pride
My life

Wrinkled hands
Stiff fingers
My youth oozes out

I’ll get by
I’ll get by

Bruise colored evenings
No time to admire
Get home
Make dinner

Multi-task
Multi-task

My sleepy head on a cold pillow
Lilac eyelids
Bruised hips
Just smile

Repeat
Repeat
