I was made for more
something bigger, something real
something that leaves a legacy
something I can feel

I wake up my little ones
kiss my spouse as he leaves
cook the food, clean the dishes
then dust before I sweep

I load the car full of groceries
then unload and put away
pay the bills, pull the weeds
laundry folded and bed made

dinner cooked and served
dishes washed and dried
evening coffee with the family
bedtime delay denied

This is my something more
this is bigger, this is real
This will be my legacy
this love I can reveal

My eyes forever opened
I can see this love I grow
watered, tendered, fortified
in the routine I too well know
