May 2019
I needed it
After being weighed down by sole responsibility
Get us to, get us from
Get it done, get all done

I've carried it on my shoulders
With you packing it tight
My labour is your ticket
But now more than ever, I needed it

I took it
Up with the sun
Drop off child one, drop off child two
Drop off you

Now time to myself
To shop, stock
a half hour walk
Enough to be back

Pick up you
Pick up two
Pick up one
My day off is done

I asked you for this day
I guess I should thank you
For letting me carry you
Before, now, forever?

Though I still see wonders
I still wonder
Was I wrong all along
Or can it change?
