My husband wrote this poem for me back when the boys were younger. I just became a stay at home mom and of course he thought that would be the easiest job! He stay home with us for a couple of days because he was sick and saw what I really did throughout the day. Here is his poem.
Motherhood
Bounding wounds and killing colds just part of her routine.
All while knowing that in the war she’s her own regime.
Capture that hill of pots and pans, defeat the spot on the floor.
Round up the troops and scrub ‘em down,
wait there’s a knock at the door.
Another company enters the field and slows her momentum down,
but she conquers the group and waves them off, to continue to
cover her ground. She feeds and beds her own troop
ending the daily fight remembering that soon tomorrow begins,
continuing her endless plight.

Wasn't that neat?! He's actually good at writing poems. Our youngest son has also picked up the gift. I'll have to post some of his stuff also.
The picture above was taken July 17, 2009 after a major thunderstorm here in our area. Can you see the double rainbow? It was awe inspiring! I'll try to send a video of it later if I can figure out how to do it!!
Until next time,
Carmen
That is so sweet. Awesome.
