Is life really too short or maybe too long?
A journey just plucking out the strong
So much joy and tenderness with aching
With every breath, memories we are making
A child, then a wife, and finally a parent
The hardest job with long hours and nay a red cent
Spending days in front of the screen to pay the bills
Blurred vision, headaches looming with unmade meals
Guilt for the friend and wife and mother I am not
Worthy just the same for the wins that I've got
The dichotomy of life is sorrow and bliss
Short or long, it doesn't matter as neither I'll miss
