Happy Mothers' Day!

Monday 21 March 2011

You hear their call first thing
Shuffle shuffle with sleepy eyes 
To be at their side
Contagious excitement for a bright new day
And it starts
You teach, you watch, you play
You feed, you clean, you change
You nurture, you protect, you entertain, 
You shake your finger "no" again and again
Nap time, your little me time
The joy from their simple smiles
The pride of their little steps
The patience, the frustrations, 
The negotiations
The authority, the liability
Utter adoration
Hardest job in the world? Damn right
Get creative, it's story time
Good night, sleep tight (please)
Fall in love with them all over again
