Promise...

From the time my legs hit the cold ground in the morning
till the time my tired head hits the soft pillow in the night
The mind is wandering from the hurried brushing, a quick shower
to the namaste God and to the kitchen stove.
And then back to the cleaning,cooking,
do-it-fast, do-it-fast, do-it-fast routine.

I want to save up time to spend with my mom,
I hurriedly run thru my self-acclaimed responsibilities.
But in this hurriedness,
I loose myself, I loose my focus.
I loose the very reason why I ran hurriedly
up-and-down throughout the day.

When the head hits the pillow,
it swirls and swirls in weird thoughts
and guiltful reasoning.
No I could not today.
I will hurry thru much faster tomorrow.
I will promise I will spend more time with her tomorrow...
