March 19, 2025
And tonight while everyone else is sleeping,
I find myself working after all of those meetings,
Wondering just how the heck we expect to get anything done.
And in my mind, I can hear myself shrieking,
But l know that it is better than late-night eating,
And I am only working because I had prioritized fun.
Sometimes in order to balance work and life,
We must choose carefully what to do with our time,
And play with the kids instead of working through the next disaster.
So perhaps I’m on the computer tonight,
But in my heart, I know what I am doing is right,
Because what I will remember will be the sounds of their laughter.
