For just one minute, in just one day
Can I be number one
Can my needs come first just once
Would that be so wrong?

I admit it’s by my choice alone
That I come last in line
But just once maybe they could say
It’s my turn first this time

I feel like a family referee
Doing this and solving that
Just once could I sit on the bench
Do nothing but relax

Just once walk in my shoes
With the decisions that I make
Each day living selflessly
All give and never take

The stress becomes enormous
Resentment pouring through
Just once let me matter
Come first instead of you

As a mother of four, I can't tell you how many times those same thoughts have gone through my head. Great job!

I think a wife, mother, lover, guardian, etc need at least 2 completely free days a month. Everyone has to have some down time where all the responsibility does not weigh on YOUR shoulders and you can pamper yourself with whatever makes you happy. The world will not end if you do, trust me. hugs, Rita

You deserve at least a day filled with "Just onces".

This one touched my heart. You give so much, I hope that it will be given back to you many times over.

A wonderful poem Dawny.
