I've got the children to tend <br />The clothes to mend <br />The floor to mop <br />The food to shop <br />Then the chicken to fry <br />The baby to dry <br />I got company to feed <br />The garden to weed <br />I've got shirts to press <br />The tots to dress <br />The can to be cut <br />I gotta clean up this hut <br />Then see about the sick <br />And the cotton to pick. <br /> <br />Shine on me, sunshine <br />Rain on me, rain <br />Fall softly, dewdrops <br />And cool my brow again. <br /> <br />Storm, blow me from here <br />With your fiercest wind <br />Let me float across the sky <br />'Til I can rest again. <br /> <br />Fall gently, snowflakes <br />Cover me with white <br />Cold icy kisses and <br />Let me rest tonight. <br /> <br />Sun, rain, curving sky <br />Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone <br />Star shine, moon glow <br />You're all that I can call my own.<br /><br />Maya Angelou<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/woman-work/
