I wake in the morning,
grab the girls to school.
Spend my day cleaning
and serving.
Helping those that refuse
to help themselves.

Long into the night,
I work right through it all.
sometimes it seems wrong,
that amongst it all,
I remain invisible.

Yet when the world settles
and all is quite,
my life takes a different line.
I become a person of worth.
Someone seen and loved.

I walk in the night air.
I play in the waters edtge.
I live a life that fills me.
All in my mind.

I'mnot a maid to command.
Nor a warm body to keep.
Or a ghost left to weep.
I am seen.

I sing all the melody's
my heart desires,
I'm even on key.
I dance to every tune,
and laugh at every turn.

I can feel the warmth of people.
I can hear the words they speak.
I'm not left alone to face the world.
I am not invisible.

No one to serve with
ungrateful looks.
None to cater too
with expectant glares.
Not one to wait on
as if they were helpless.

Yes.
My life is in a double state.
Th eone I live when I'm
wide awake,
And the other I live,
when the world goes to sleep.
