Deficient days start out
sunlight peeks through
shaded windows
Mommy rings in unison
in the background
Smell of bacon and eggs
cappuccino for me please
mind is whirling of today's requirements
getting everyone dressed
then its my turn
for a quick shower
have to hurry
don't wanna be late
for the tea party
running through my mind
almost knocking over
my daughter sings
mommmmmmmyyyyyyyyy hurrrrrryyyyyyyy
quietly I sit
reflecting on my daughters beauty
remembering past times
we've shared
Good mornin' Mr. Bear and Hello Dolly!
oh and Bunny, how could I forget you!
greeting all as we sip our pretend tea and then clean up
My son yells in the background
MOMMY I HAVE THE BASES READY
Outside I run
for a game of wiffle ball
that even Bunny attends
looking at my son
growing strong and tall
independent
remembering...
Running back inside
picking up pieces of memories
that I will forever cherish
Errands never stop
where did this day go?
collapsing on the couch
energy spent
reflecting on how time
seems to fly by unnoticed
listening to unlabored breaths
Finding some peace
in this hectic days memories
wishing I had time to write it
