I have no idea why
I'm still allowed
to go free.
People have asked me,
when they hear I'm the
mother of 6,
"Why do you look so
sane"?
I joke and say,
"They let me out
of the state hospital
just to work".

They're mostly grown,
except for one,
who is 12.
I try to remember when
they were small,
and there were 5 loads
of wash a day,
and my car was on
auto pilot to the school,
and I was skinny because
I'd just forget to eat.
Remembering their names
was a moment of victory!

They ask me how
I did it,
and I usually just
don't know who
did it.
It couldn't possibly
have been me!

I love your sense of humor here- and I am sure that with the LORD's help, it took a good sense of humor and a Love for Him and family to have been involved in this success story in the making. God knows what He is doing when He picks out mothers--(ever hear of Mary?) God bless you Mother Ellie and your wonderful family, David

(P.S. I kind of like that nickname- for in truth, beside your expansive family- you have been a succorer to many here in this forum)

This is great ellie. I don't know how Mom's do it. I was blessed with one third, barely left with one nerve! Great poem, love the humorous way you look at it. Marcy
