Body A Little Unsteady, Mind Starting To Question My Strength

I wake sore
As if I was beaten in my sleep
Body really wants to just stay in bed
I wake to get my kids ready
I start cleaning right off the bat
Kitchen is always a mess from
My dinner the night before
I take out the trash it seems to always be full
And I’m the only one that can see it
Open the front and back door get the house flowing
Before the heat wave hits
As I stand there waiting for the bus to pass
Body a little unsteady
Mind starting to question my strength
Holding on to the gate
Inner self yelling to hurry and sit down
Finally, it passes as I walk in the house
Not to sit no but of corse to feed the animals
I feed the fish
I feed the cats
I then feed beardy
I then sat in my bed where it hugged me with pure love
My body completely melts and felt such relief
For even a minute
