I am mother

Baby feeds
4:30am
Falling back asleep
Sunlight peers
A bit more sleep
Soon the day begins
Little feet
Pitter patter
Baby cooing
Morning shuffle
Breakfast, giggles
Promise of a new day
Stories of dreams
Listening ear
Slowly waking
Soaking it all in

Baby cries
Schoolwork
Tears, frustration
Joy, anticipation
Bonding, sharing, learning
Lunch
Bubbles and dishes
Washing machine humming
Sweeping, scrubbing
Baby squeals
Kissing owies
Blanket forts
Snuggles

Nap time
Soft sounds
Quiet peace
Books to read
Thoughts to think
Meditation
Soft, chubby baby feet
Rustling trees
Hardly stirring

Chopping, simmering
Dinner scent filling the air
Kitchen mess
Sword fights
Baby carrier
Laundry folding
Waiting for daddy

Bedtime's come
One more snack
Books closing
Lights dimming
Prayer and tickles
Baby swaddled
Crickets calling
Pillows fluffing

Silence
Exhaustion
Twinkling eyes
Romantic hearts
Hands entwined
Laughing, sharing
Thankfulness
Closing another chapter
The book of our lives

I am mother.
