Another Day In The Life, A Poem

I was inspired to write a poem after reading this one by Pooja I used to love to write poetry but haven’t in years. So please be gentle, haha😁

I hear my son before I open my eyes,
He is bonding virtually with someone across the country.
And I realize another day has begun. 
I stay still in my bed so as not to alert the natives. 
Otherwise, known as my dogs.
For this moment, the day is mine and the possibilities are endless. 
But I know when I step out of my room, 
the responsibilities will consume me and the possibilities will dwindle. 
This existence I have created is not my own and yet it is how I am defined. 
There is no escape 
and there is no respite. 
But there is love and maybe that’s enough.
