Twenty-four hours

So much is possible

But everyday I wake up

I do the same tasks from the day before

Wash the dishes, bathe the kids, wash the laundry, make the meals

Each day has a new responsibility

Adding to my neverending, overwhelming list

No one told me it’d be like this

I guess I should have guessed

But I never knew it was so lonely

Joining Motherhood.

 

And everyday brings a new memory

A new reason to smile

It’s not an easy life

But it’s mine and I love it.
