(一)
Life with kids can be a mess,
With kids to wake and shake and dress,
With meals to make and things to clean,
And cats and dogs and other things.
With broken toys and hurts to mend,
Sometimes needing rules to bend.
With naps that never will be yours,
Because of lunches thrown on the floors.
You always plan your time for you,
When we are all sleeping in our rooms,
To read a book or watch the news,
But seldom is it ever true.
And just when you might think you're done,
We all come home and need a snack,
Or need a ride or need a chat,
Or cry or laugh or this or that.
You somehow manage every task,
And travel like a garden gnome,
And still you always ask my dad,
"How was your day?" when he comes home.
My mother's work is never done.
Her sentences are life-long one.
But even as the years have changed,
I never once heard her complain.
