Good morning everybody! Here’s something sweet to start your Wednesday.
He opens his eyes and starts to stir
Calls out for me, because I’m preferred
He nurses sweetly in the chair
I run my fingers through his hair
He’s off to play and make a mess
I haven’t even showered yet
I try my best to get things done
But get sidetracked with Lego fun
My errands now take twice as long
And must include some silly song
He has a tantrum in the store
And flails himself upon the floor
The day drags on, I watch the clock
I wash and dry and fold his socks
I cook a dinner he refuses
And wipe the bib he rarely uses
I kiss the boo-boo on his nose
And clip and scrub his stinky toes
I zip him up in blue pajamas
Such a blessing to be his Mama
We read a story for the hundredth time
The one with pigs that dance and rhyme
I rock him as he drifts to sleep
And know he makes my life complete
Because even after a thankless day
Where everything has gone astray
I hold my son and watch him breathe
And can’t quite bring myself to leave
I ache for him when we’re apart
He’s captured in my Mama heart
I set him down and switch the light
I miss him while he sleeps at night
