An acrostic poem.

 

I am busy with a new heavy load

 

All I seem to do is work endlessly

Morning until night I must struggle

 

Bedtime can never come too soon

Up at the very first crack of dawn

Shower, get dressed and go to work

Yearning for a much needed vacation

 

Weekends I don’t get any rest

I must labor both day and night

Taking a break I hardly ever do

Have to work for endless hours

 

All I want now is some rest

 

New heavy load on my schedule

Every day it’s the same old thing

Work from morning until nighttime

 

Hard labor is a part of my routine

Every morning at the break of dawn

Awake and ready to go to work

Vacation time is still far away yet

Yesterday I got a bigger work load

 

Longing for a few days of rest

Outside nature is calling to me

Another day of no relaxation

Doomed to work endless hours

    Seems as though a woman’s work is never done.

    You work to live, not live to work.
