This is my life..

Wake up before dawn
Children screaming, fighting, running
A million things to do today
Get up and go to work
10 hour days...patients complaining
You're not moving fast enough, I want this and I want that
Doctors yelling, patients swearing
running, running, I can't catch up

This is my life???

Mommy she bit me
Brother pushing, wails and tears, fits and fights
Food thrown from here to there
Dirty hands, dirty faces, dirty diapers
Fingers tugging, voices whining
Mommy, mommy, MOMMY....can't catch my breath

This is my life???

Papers signed, alone now with 2 children
Bills to pay, clothes to buy, meals to cook
Baths to give, fights to resolve, plans to make
Visitation with their father
Mommy mommy I want this, I need that...can we, can we please
Not enough time, not enough money, not enough me

This is my life???

Sleepy eyes in the morning
Warm hugs and sweet kisses
Band aids on boo boos, stories before bed
Birthdays and Christmastime
Bright smiles and funny stories
Mommy, mommy, MOMMY....
Mommy, I love you

This is my life.................and I'm okay with that.
