Poem: Just Another Day

This one was written on a day when I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry or pull out all my hair. :P

 

Just Another Day

Author & Copyright: Mumsgather.com

Its Just Another Day
Of spit food and messy faces
I struggle with words to say
Till I get sweet smiles and big embraces

Its Just Another Day
Of big pools of pee on clean sheets
I no longer care my home’s in disarray
But then innocent faces they look so sweet

Its Just Another Day
Of small tantrums and big tears
I look around in dismay
Then little voices bring me cheer

On my knees from morn to night
Picking toys, wiping butts and stopping fights
Always never far from sight
Its Just Another Day for this mom of might

Feeding, bathing, entertaining
My day is full from dawn to dusk
Chasing, scolding and then teaching
Its Just Another Day filled up with tasks

Dispelling fears and wiping tears
My day quickly passes from day to day
And soon I’ll look back through the years
On this day when I’m old and gray

    I think you just about covered everything a mother has to deal with on a daily basis. Posted my 1st poem today – thanks to you! :D

    Bravo! A humorous first one is the way to go! :)

    yup, I agree with mom2kiddos. Very good poem indeed!

    Some days it makes us just want to tear out all our hair doesn’t it?

    Really enjoyed both poems, looking forward to more from your collection.

    I have about a dozen more. Soon you’ll be bored with my poems galore as I post them one by one. Haha.
