It is never too late…..to take that pause!

*************************************************************************************

Between the hoots of the silver white owl

that sits on your table with a button of snooze

And, meeting reminders that sing from your phone

While you lie there and wonder, if you could just be left alone….

While you take in the first whiff of coffee, after your first floss,

Remember milady, It is never too late…to take that pause!

 ********************************************************************

Between singeing your fingers in the simmering tea cup,

when you attempted to get the day’s first sunny side up

And, reading those blazing headlines of fire and blood,

You somehow missed your usual eight o clock bus!

And so, while you take a cab and roll down the glass….

Remember milady, it is never too late to take that pause!

*************************************************************************************

Between the never ending home chores

That feast on your wows and woes,

And, towering over kids while they scribble and babble…..

You are engulfed by waves of never ceasing trials

As you stand ramrod, making those flat breads and sauce,

Remember milady, it is never too late to take that pause!

This post is dedicated to all women who tirelessly work with no breaks, managing home and work with the same finesse but, rarely appreciated. To all those women, it is never too late to take that pause!
