“I’m just a mom”, I sigh at the end...I’M JUST A MOM<br />“I’m just a mom”, I sigh at the end of the day.<br />No one cares what I do or what I say<br />It doesn’t matter that I have cooked and cleaned and slaved all day<br />I’m still just a mom at the end of the day.<br /><br />“Mum I love you” my granddaughter says<br />As she throws her arms around me.<br />“Dear, have I told you how much I love you today”?<br />Asks my loving honey.<br /><br />“Mommy can I get you something? Are you all right” <br />Questions my oldest girl.<br />Wait! I don’t understand what is happening<br />As my head begins to swirl.<br /><br />What happened to “I’m just still a mom”<br />To those who love me I am mom, mommy, mother, dear<br />Mum, grandma, sweetheart, someone who’s calm<br />And suddenly it all becomes so clear <br />I hold the most sacred calling of all Motherhood.<br />Mary L.

By the number of visits I see recorded daily, there's a great deal of interest and quite a few shy poets. I hope you are writing poetry for yourselves with each prompt. You certainly don't need to post it here, but an ocassional "hello" is always appreciated. :)Stephanie Abneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120023740478895429noreply@blogger.com
