Mom Life is hard at times. Some days are harder than others and I have my moments where I question “What was I thinking??!!” But I know that even though there are other things I’d enjoy doing, or be great at, I’m right where I need to be. ❤
Sometimes I think I’ll quit my job –
Go back to work again.
Find some peace and quiet
Away from all the din.
Get paid for all the work I do
And appreciation too.
Wear something that’s not all stained
Or even something new.
Enjoy a simple bit of space
That somehow stays all clean…
And hide out in a corner
Where I simply can’t be seen.
How much could I accomplish
If this was my time spent,
Instead of all the twists and turns
That make my day all bent?
But I would miss the little things.
I would miss the things they do –
The excitement on their little faces
And their hugs and kisses too.
Knowing that it’s me they want
When they need a heart consoled.
Knowing that it’s me they want
To help be brave and bold.
I’d even miss the little smears
And food stains on my jeans.
And the simple little block towers
That always seem to lean.
Those smudgy little faces
That seek me out all day
Will soon be just a memory
As they go up and on their way.
So, I’ll face my days with Bravery –
The good and crazy too.
Because deep in my heart I know
That Mother’s what I’m meant to do.
