Superwoman’s Freedom Plea, by Beth Moore

When I was growing up I used to visit my aunt’s family on summer vacations and Easter breaks. She had 3 small children that I would help out with and she ran a daycare out of her home for awhile. She got totally hooked on soap operas and her husband hated them so she would watch them in secrecy…..well, everyone knew but her husband. I can remember a time her husband came home and asked about her day and her kids answered for her with something like - “there is only so much she can do with the Days of our Lives, especially when she has All my Children, it’s really surprising she isn’t in General Hospital!” He looked at them, completely baffled by what they were saying. The rest of us had a great laugh!
This poem written by Beth Moore reminded me of that time, check it out:)
“Oh, Lord, who said there’s just One Life to Live?
I’m sure I’m livin’ a thousand!
The few times I do awake to pray
All My Children start arousin’!
Uh, oh! No time for quiet now
Think quick! The day’s beginnin’!
I’ll try to recall all Oprah’s advice…
Then my head starts spinnin’.
Make those younguns religious, cautious but not suspicious
And watch their self-esteem!
Yet you be professional, look sensational
And keep that house squeaky clean!
And perish the thought you’ forget the needs
Of that marvelous man you married
Why, throw yourself before him when he raises his eyebrows
And quit thinking, “I’d rather be buried!”
Oops, now I’m late for work, the kids hate their clothes
And the baby’s got a cough
As the World Turns so quickly, I’m severely tempted
To take the next jump off.
Surely they’re kiddin’, Is there anyone left
Who’s honestly Young and Restless
As for me, I feel centuries old, completely worn out
And cellulite infested!
It’s gonna take more than Ryan’s Hope for his woman to survive.
I cannot abide another deep breath of these Days of our lives!
Superwoman? She’s a curse. To fake her is impossible!
And if I try for one more day, I’ll wind up in General Hospital!
I’ve gotta be here, I’ve gotta be there
I frankly cannot face it.
Rescue me from havoc, please, show me what is basic!
Slow me down, Lord, save this life and keep my eyes on You.
Satan can have this rat race world-
Thank God, I’m just passin’ through.”
