Just for today the world can wait,
Life can stop and time can dissipate.

Just for today I’m taking a break,
Thinking about me and what’s good for my sake.
Let the washing pile up, let the dishes stack high,
If someone has the guts let them ask why!

Today is my day just to take it easy,
I’ll lie around all day if it so pleases me.
I’m the queen of my castle enjoying my home,
But then I realise – I’m not alone.
I snap out of my dream and get out of my bed,
Fall over Jared’s car and bump into Skyla’s big ted.
Six little feet running through the passage way,
Noises of laughter as my angels play.

So just for today, the world can wait,
Life can stop and time can dissipate.
I’ll play games and watch Winnie the Pooh,
And there is nothing in this world I’d rather do!
