6 a.m., another day,
Roll out of bed and make my way,
Next door down, wake up "you know who",
Then struggle and fight to wake kid #2.
"Mom, braid my hair",
"Hey, Mom, where's my shoes?",
They'll need Mom 100 times,
Before the 7:00 news!
Seven already? Mom becomes wife,
Back up the stairs to
Wake the love of my life.
Breakfast is ready, let's all go eat,
Yummm..the cook did good - didn't she?
Just enough time to tie up loose ends,
And always 10 minutes to check on my friends.
Ooops, just a minute,
Let me wash just this dish.
Did I forget anything?..feed the fish!!
Whew, everything's done, now I've got to go,
Classes are starting in aminute or so.
For the next several hours,
A student I'll be,
(Until I'm a professional and have a degree!)
But rest assured, by 3:00, I'll be home,
And once again be all the people you know.
I am a Mother, I am a Wife,
I am a Cook, I'm here for Life.
I am a Friend, I'm also a maid,
I do it all, without being paid.
I am a student, I have a plan,
But just one word will sum up ALL that I am.....
WOMAN.


(Sorry I've been gone so long...maybe the poem will explain!! I've missed you..everyone.)
