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.) |
