Begun to Done

She's up before the rooster crows,
to ready breakfast for the stay-in-beds.
They eat, pushing chairs under the table,
and go about their busy business,
as she wipes away the crumbs.
Her workday takes her from home,
with errands waiting to be run
when that work is done.

Dinner, hot and fresh is wanted on the table,
tho' dirty dishes a grumpy child's chore may be.
The day is ending, time of rest and relaxation.
The next day waits, ordained since time began,
with chores and needs and meals and games.
She sleeps, perhaps with dreams of lounge chairs by a sky-blue pool,
until a random child arrives to wail of nightmares.
