Best of Both Worlds

She pours herself a second cup
Making lunches as the kids wake up
She gives them kisses and Frosted Flakes
And puts them on the yellow bus at eight

Off to the office, her daily routine
Telephones and computer screen
From time to time she slips away
To soccer games or junior ballet

She’s walking a narrow line
Keeping her balance a day at a time
Taking care of business and two little girls
She’s trying to make the best of both worlds

The night is still, kids asleep
She counts her blessings and soaks her feet
Though tomorrow will be much the same
She wouldn’t have it any other way

She’s walking a narrow line
Keeping her balance a day at a time
Taking care of business and two little girls
She’s trying to make the best of both worlds
