A day asMom

my day begins with a word of thanks

For life for strength for peace for wisdom and yes for grace

Where do I begin i ponder gazing in bewilderment at the nights mass

Get to it already the voice within me childes there's school to be ready for!


In a practised rhythm my labour begins

one borne out of nothing but love

In time mustering my all order is restored alas the readying begins

Cleaned and fed we haste for the door; with a smile on my face my respite to embrace 

Mug in hands I make ready to unwind and 

No O Where did that come from .....

The morning mess meets me with a grin my rest is foiled.....

The joy of motherhood can sometimes be overwhelming 

But I will choose this all over again!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Here I aim to describe my life as a stay at home mom to 5 lovely children. My kids are the reason I get up each day!
