Good Wife

All the dishes I left in the sink
With a million decisions to over think
And the cereal still against the wall
Unread texts and missed calls
Don't want leave the boy but I got to go work
I keep the house running though I don't iron the shirts
Have I done too much screen time?
Is the car seat the right size?
Did I message my friend to check in on his back?
Have I paid the bills and council tax?

To be a
Good wife, a mother, a sister a good friend
A giver, a daughter, a dreamer, to be a woman
A woman

That show we started ages ago
Still can't get past the first episode
The date nights we said we'd have
A few and far between or pushed back
No food in the cupboards, so it's another takeaway
I keep the house running though we eat off spinning plates
Got to post at the right time
Keeping up appearances, online
The years are so short though the days might seem long
Got to take enough pictures before they're gone

To be a
Good wife, a mother, a sister a good friend
A giver, a daughter, a dreamer, to be a woman
A woman

A good wife, a happy life
If I smile I'll be fine I'll be perfectly alright
I know in time

I'll be a
Good wife, a mother, a sister a good friend
A giver, a daughter, a dreamer, to be a woman
A woman
