Sleeplessness

Photo By Km Berggren

The joys and the pains of motherhood
The surprises in the form of a little person
All I want and wish for is him to have a perfect childhood
Whilst all the days I must stop myself from cursing

Oh little guy my sweet baby boy
My glasses are not a toy
More and more I say to thee STOP THAT
As you try to go drum and tap tap
You're only a year old
Yet you're rebellious and dare I say bold

In one ear and out the other
Never listening to mother
I don't have that deep voice
Yet I do have another choice

There's always Nana or Dad
Since mama has to get away
Batteries are drained because of the wee lad
Truly feel that I will fray

All the days I wrestle with restlessness
Feeling breathless after the child chase
Not to mention cleaning up the "waste"

Tears, Screams, and Laughs all endlessness
Pushing through the exhaustion
All while keeping caution
Sometimes though through my weepiness
Your smile is all I need to help with my sleeplessness
