Days Spent

40 years spent on this earth
what is my soul existence worth
whose life do I touch
does it mean very much

1 day a week spent in worship of Him
6 spent in search of the meaning within
5 days a month spent in ill timed PMS
5 days a month bleeding through my dress

how many hours a day spent laundering clothes
cleaning up dog hair and heaven only knows
how many hours I've wasted right here
looking at a computer screen year after year

please God I beg you this heartfelt plea
do something purposeful & significant with me
let me not waste one minute more
waiting for something to come through the door

there must be so much more to life
than laundry and dishes
being a simple housewife
I don't have a dream... I have no real wishes
do I have contentment?
who the hell knows
would I sit here complaining
if it were so?
