Motherhood
Thoughts in the evening are mine to keep,
When all my children lay fast asleep.
The night is still, with just their snores,
And once in awhile, a creak of the floor.
The quiet now brings me such pleasure,
Although their noise is such a treasure.
This busy Mommy sure deserves,
A cup of tea to calm the nerves.
I think of how I spent the day,
And all the things that are left to say.
Have I been firm or much too soft?
Oh, no I think I heard a cough.
My work seems never to be done,
Yet having kids is so much fun.
They take so much of me, it seems,
That what is left, is only dreams.
I wouldn't change a single day,
Except to give, more love their way.
I renew my strength each quiet night;
Then start a fresh in morning light.
The nights are mine to always treasure,
But in the morn, their noise is pleasure.
I dread the day the noise will cease;
I do not need quite that much peace!
