As I enter my home
After a long day of work
My kids come running to me in glee
After the hugs and kisses
I see the couch inviting me
Then I see
Floor littered with toys and crayons
Clothes lying all around
Piled up dishes in the sink
All staring back at me
Thus I get to work
Cleaning, sweeping, mopping
Dinner and dishes
Along with the kids homework in between
The couch now long forgotten
In bed I lie
As sleep invades me
How do you unwind after a demanding day?
