Single Handedly (Way too Much)

Single Handedly (Way too Much)

A Poem by Teddybearlee

Everyday the same challenges arise
That I alone must conquer or demise
By myself to raise and cleanse
To pay and save, to make amends

This family house I bought for us
We didn't get to fill it, except now with dust
This cleaning list won't do itself
It's all on me, arrange the movies on the shelf

This dinner needs made and these dirty dishes
These bills need paid as the laundry swishes
My daughter needs her playmate now
Come here sweetie, daddy will show you how

My work needs attention or employees will rule
Then there goes my cash flow, and customers true
The car needs inspecting, as I plan for vacation
Take my daughter to the beach, for she is my blessing

Plan this plan that my days are always full
Yet my mind seeks to constantly escape, life's charging bull
When things start to crumble, and fall behind
Dear God where is the rewind, I just can't find

Santa and Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy too
So many roles to fill, all alone I must do
From childhood I sought to have a "normal" family
I had it all, but now it's just empty
