Juggling, Mothering

Bills, babies. Mopping, maybes. Catching, crying. Teasing, trying. Honking, hoping. Holding, coping. School, stress. Is this a test? Laughing, loving, Sharing, shoving, Reading, feeding. Watch me! Am I free? Explaining, maintaining. Waiting, hating. Goodbyes. Dry eyes. Always tries. Not a price. Fill, spill, need to chill. Wake up. Make up. Take up. Never break up. Hugging, snuggling. Giggling, wiggling. Listening, whispering, Answering. Not a thing. Playing, saying. Wishing, kissing. Helpless, selfless. Living, giving. Take a breath. Stop to rest, Need to eat. Do I ever sleep? Watching, wondering. Missing mothering? Don’t cry, days fly by, Hold on tight. This feels right.
