For All You’ ve Done Joelle Esquejo
Up in the morning With an alarm and a shower. Wake up the daughter at the start of the hour. Whip up something promptly For the family to eat. Steps on the staircase As your first child you meet.
Breakfast is served And the daughter’ s hair tied. The son’ s woken up- is it cold outside? Bags are prepared. Her phone’ s in her pocket. Unlock the door; when she leaves, re-lock it.
Television on With the daily newsround Husband is heard walking in the background. Son playing games In the living room. Waiting for the time when he’ s brought to school.
A minute in the car, Before dropped off at the office. Laptop in the bag- you almost forgot it! Breathe out a sigh, For the morning is done. Now for the work that needs to be gone.
Seven, eight, Or nine hours after. Shopping for food, or drinks, or other.
