Much Needed

The night draws near now day is done.
Blue shadows lengthen on the ground,
the traffic noise is almost gone.
The ticking clock the only sound.

The children safe and snug in bed.
I have some precious time alone,
I try to read but drift instead
into a small world of my own.

Where I am young and innocent
without responsibility.
There I can please myself content
I need consider only me.

I wake up with a sudden start
adjusting to reality
Adopt again my real life part,
and say goodbye to fantasy.

Quite soon my husband will be home
and ready for his evening meal.
He will expect a warm welcome.
No fantasy now this is real.
