Poem : the wonder woman i am

The wonder woman I am 

Where yesterday went by, I ain’t got a clue 

Today is a new day, there is so much to do 

The list is long and never ending too 

I wish I could I lay in bed all day 

But I have to make my own way 

Windows to clean and shelves to dust 

Dishes to wash and  floor to mop 

Food to cook and eat it too 

the hours go by 

there’s still so much to do 

24 hours seems less 

Now I am in distress 

home to declutter, never ending chores to finish  

Negativity, one has started to dismiss 

new skills to learn and deadlines to meet

Thought there would time, to go deep within 

I sit for a moment 

to  pause and reflect 

Today, there were no regrets

I had smiled all long 

Every chores I had done 

My life had expanded 

A song I had sung 

I had played with the cat 

My own back I should pat 

For being the wonder woman 

The woman I am
