the mind swirls
  too much
too many things to do
  kids, laundry, daycare

breathe, just breathe

one step on the grass
lush grasses and crisp wind
lift faces to the morning sky
  greeting our tired eyes

breathe, just breathe

  rush and fill the tank
waiting in line
  as usual running late
still have to stop at the bank

breathe,  just breathe

  life fills every space
wildflowers thrive in cement cracks
birds fill the ears with songs
and breath continually fills my lungs

How your poem fits my day, my life!  I have to go back to work soon, and have tons to do before vacation (is that a word?) is over.  Just as I was doing my least favorite task today, cleaning out desk junk,
our new big pup demanded to be let out.  Normally, I take him on a walk with a lead so he doesn't run off.  Today he was having such fun in the yard, trying to play with our older jealous dog, that I simply watched in wonder.  Then the pup did it!  In full blast, he ran in the large field with tall weeds and wild flowers, quite a treat from humdrum day.  Of course, I tried to retrieve the partial retriever.  (Wish us luck.)  He's having a field day!
  You're poem expressed the balancing act very well.  A delight to read!
