If you have some extra patience
Could you please send some my way
My child just doesn’t understand
There are things I need to do today
I woke up an hour early
So I could get a head start
But she woke up early too
And blew my plans apart
She began to help with breakfast
A simple, daily chore
She cracked some eggs in a bowl
And dumped them on the floor
We took our efforts outside
To tidy up our lawn
One moment she was there
And the next moment – gone
And where would I find her?
But well beyond the trees
Up on the road, with the dogs
Acting just like the puppies
After that I had decided
That she should have a nap
I brought her inside the house
And snuggled her on my lap
I thought I had achieved success
When her eyes started closing
But then the damn phone rang
And it prevented her from dozing
The rest of my day was filled
With very similar events
Forgive me for complaining
I just really needed to vent!
Now she is tired and cranky
Clinging on to my knees
So if you have some extra patience
Could you send me some, please!
