We all face choices in life, and with choices come consquences But, the good life in this poets mind, is one with time for the things that are important to her in life.But is This The Good Life?
Poet Catherine Pulsifer
I bought what I wanted,
I worked 12 hour days,
There was no time for family or friends,
I was stressed out most of the time,
The answer - not for me!
whether I needed it or not.
Whether I had the money or not.
Oh, credit cards the wonder of our time.
I ended up with nifty material things I could ever want.
But is this the good life?
Plus traveling time of 2 hours a day,
I often worked nights and weekends
I had a high paying job.
But is this the good life?
On the weekends I caught up on my sleep,
Baking, cooking, cleaning, I had someone else do that.
But is this the good life?
But, we went on holidays,
We had the two cars,
And the cottage and the house.
But is this the good life?
So I set my goals.
I quit my job,
Moved to the country,
Set up our own craft business,
Have time for my family and friends,
Enjoy my own cooking,
Simplified my life.
This is the good life!
