When I was younger

Tweet

When I was younger I loved to go to the park, I loved to swing on the swings, To see if I could touch the moon with my toes. But now I don't have time to swing, I don't have time too look up, to busy watching my feet making sure I don't slip up, Just having to be perfect in every way. Society will deem you unfit in so many ways. it used to be fun working cooking cleaning. But now it seems like things have gotten demanding. Its no longer I want to make you a special dinner, Its why didn't you make anything to eat. Its no longer honey the house looks wonderful, take a break tomorrow. Now it is either you didn't clean this part even though the rest of the house is spotless or it is Oh you just cleaned this room it gives me space to make a mess(not a kid I am speaking about). And work used to be fun I love my customers and love my coworkers but now its not just work it is an escape from my other job, (house keeper, maid, mother to my boyfriend, step mom who has no authority but when I take authority gets in trouble). Even though it is an escape I still enjoy it when it is good, when the customers are happy. Like the other week while at work I was checking this nice older lady out and when it came time to pay her bill she was about 20 short give or take a few cents. I was about store comp her order being I am a supervisor and she is a regular, But out of no where the lady behind her takes out a 20 and hands it to me telling me to cover the rest of her order. The lady thanks the woman graciously over and over again. just the other day the same lady who was short weeks ago brought in a 20 and told me the next person who comes up short on their order to pay for it with this and if there is anything left over to let them keep the change. It is customer like this that warm my heart. And keep me coming back to work, they are the reason I call it my escape, cause even though being at home is horrible from time to time and the same with being at work. But at least I know there will still be people and moments who give this life a redemption!
