There once was a wife saw a text
That got her so terribly vexed
She cried and she wailed
The husband – he paled
Who knows what that couple did next?
One has her Mum-in-Law too sick for her chemo
Two has her Daughter attending counselling for food issues
Three hasn’t had a night without a child in her bed for weeks
Four has just had the arrival of number four
Five has her first date in 5 years, in 2 days, 5 hours and 54 minutes
Six has work changes which could make or break her sanity
Seven has to face another month with no work for her husband
Eight has to go back to work when her heart is left at home
Nine hates her job so much she can’t hide it anymore
Ten is praying her Mum gets a miracle cure
All supporting me and I can’t reach up to help them.
Eyes in, heart blocked, ears muffled.
I’ll be back soon.
I want to stay in a castle by a lake
Curl up with tea and a big crumbly cake
Rest on old sofas round a roaring fire
Read trash mags and good books to my heart’s desire
Brave the wild weather with the man of my heart
Revell in his love like back at the start
Touch feelings and places gone cold with neglect
Look forward with hope not back with regret
