I want to...

I want to slow my pace down and relax but there is always so much to do,
I want to tell the kid to give me space but she says she needs me too.
I want to sleep till late and linger in bed but the husband is asking for his clothes,
I want the kid to finish her food without me running around to impose.
I want to eat everything my heart desires but the acidity finds me at bay,
I want to party hard and sleep late but what wakes me is the first morning ray.
I want to be pampered and be held but the husbands knee pains,
I want to get my feet pressed and hate these varicose veins.
I want to stop going to work but the office doesn't relent,
I want to be pampered like crazy and not feel so spent.
I want to have that glass of mojito but the doctor says no no,
I want to travel the world but currently there is nowhere i can go.
I want to be with mom and get pampered but the husband doesn't agree,
I want to sleep through the night without having to pee.
I want to go to a spa but the house work always finds me there,
I want to take a long shower but the kid wants to knock and scare.
I want to take a day off but the husband likes to work on a sunday,
I want a long car drive but he is on a driving holiday.
I want to do nought but something is always there to be done,
I want to sleep, eat, drink and make merry but life is always on the run.
I want the kid to come out now and end the suspense,
I want the world to run my way but no one cares for my two cents.

Complete! Incomplete?

One moment you know your life's just filled with joy!
The other it comes crashing down!
One moment you see the joyous face of a father!
The other it is the morose look of one that might have been!
One moment you feel the love brewing!
The other you kill it inside you!
One moment you know your eyes welting with happy emotions!
The other they just keep crying unhappy tears!
One moment you have a happy satisfied realization!
The other it all becomes an unsettled compromise!
One moment you are dreaming a content dream!
The other you want the nightmare to end!
One moment you know the world is yours!
The other it seems to be conspiring against you!
One moment your heart is overwhelmed with glee!
The other it experiences a vacuum!
One moment you want the whole world to know!
The other you wish it just weren't around!
One moment you feel you are now complete!
The other your incompleteness dawns on you!
