How do you think I earn your keep
So that you can have all of this stuff?
I have to be up there to keep it going
Won’t you stop bending my ear?
Who do you think was up all night
So that you could be sound asleep?
Tell me my dear who makes your bed
who irons all of your shirts?
I hoover the floor and rub down each door
And I’ve painted and plastered around
I gave up my career for you to be boss
As I was cheering you on
Remember why you have a career
And married with wife and a son
How do you think you even have a son
Must I go on and on?.......
Oh you’re still here tell, me this .who stocks up food in this fridge?
The one you polish every day, isn’t it shiny and clear?
You empty the bins and do the odd bath, I’m grateful every day of the year
But I cut the grass and I knock down walls
As you sit down with a beer.
You earn the money but I pay the bills
Take care of them as they arrive
And I pay them still when their due date comes
And whether they’re pennies or pound
I won’t be put down, this is isn’t you, where has this anger come from?
You said you were 6 hours ahead of schedule, let’s take a spin round the town.
I don’t really t want to be part of that list. we married for love, and can’t part
now have a kid who needs us both , perhaps take a breath and calm down.
I’m sorry my queen for I didn’t mean it, I know you’re the star of the show
I’m always here and on my knees now, forgive me for you wear the crown
It takes a strong man to keep a strong woman,
and I’m the one ironing your shorts
And I do it with love like I cook every day
Amongst my friends I am renowned
Conclusion. Sometimes we allow work to take over but it's good to stop and ask the right questions and remember who we are doing it for and why.
Shall I change the title to not always a bed of roses, or perhaps
Why do we think chocolate and cut flowers is the answer to all of our problems? Why am I saying this? Because it's good to communicate and express ourselves. Let the other know how we are feeling. Nipping in the bud so we don't feel we need flowers to patch things up. Patching cracks are only delaying the inevitable and we don't want to leave it too late.
