Motherhood

I wrote this poem about 4 years ago before the birth of my last son. I may have been having one of those days and one way I vent is to write poetry sometimes. This is the poem that came out that day. Enjoy!

Motherhood

I start my day with prayer
to my Father up above
To help me do all things
without complaining, but in love
I then get dressed and make my bed
Out the bedroom door I head

My silent time is gone for now
It's time to start my day
My daughter is already up,
my son in his bed lays

We make and eat our breakfast
and clean and dry our plates
Did I happen to mention that me and Daddy need a date?

I'll home teach my daughter
I'll then play with my son
He likes to play with blocks and cars
to watch him is so fun

In between I'll throw in laundry,
vacuum, dust and mop.
What it's only 1:00 pm
I think I'm going to drop

My son can nap
my daughter read
I think I may get the break I need

I'll sit outside and sip some tea.
No, you better not bother me.
This time is mine, I will not waste
A piece of chocolate I'd like to taste

I'll have to go and raid my stash
My chocolate it is hidden
No other hands can touch
Oh no! It is forbidden!
My break is over my son is up
I stare at the bottom of my tea cup.

Okay, yes, I can do this
the day is now half done
Let's all pack in the car
for there are errands we must run
I'll hurry back and get on supper
Oh man is that a poopy diaper?

This day is coming to and end
Some family time we will now spend

The kids are bathed and all tucked in
we say our last good nights
We pray for God to watchover them
and then shut out the lights

I'll end my day just as I started
with prayer to God above.
I'll thank Him for His patience with me and
most of all his love

I can't believe I did it
I'm doing pretty good
I have survived another day
of that thing called Motherhood!

Ok so maybe it's not the best written thing in the world but I hope it brought a smile to your face. I'm afraid of what I might write now with the addition of my very busy 3 year old son lol. I just hope that all you mothers out there embrace the calling that the Lord has bestowed upon you. It took awhile for me to "get" it. What? It isn't all about me? LOL! Once I figured that out I had it made.
Have a most excellent day my friends.
