Watched “Tangled” yesterday. This song struck a chord:
“7:00 a.m. the usual morning lineup: start on the chores and
sweep 'til the floor's all clean,
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up. Sweep
again, and by then it's like 7:15.
So, I'll read a book or maybe two or three. I'll add a few
new paintings to my gallery.
I'll play guitar and knit, and cook and basically wonder, ‘When
will my life begin?’
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts, and baking. Papier-mâché,
a bit of ballet and chess.
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making, then I'll stretch, maybe
sketch, take a climb, sew a dress!
I'll reread the books if I have time to spare. I'll paint
the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere.
Then I'll brush and brush, and brush and brush my hair stuck
in the same place I've always been.
And I'll keep wondering and wondering and wondering and
wondering, ‘When will my life begin?’”
