Today I'm feeling blue,
The kids are full of beans & chatter,
And I just want a peaceful day,
The thought of the park again makes me shudder.
Am I being selfish?
I just want some time.
I know I'm being snappy,
But I've run out of smiles.
I love my children dearly,
But would like a little rest,
Is it OK to say that?
Why do I feel I've failed?
Kids are for life,
Everyday is full,
Some days are full of laughs,
Others boredom & tears.
Even on a bad day,
I know things will improve,
Happiness is on the horizon,
A kiss, a hug, a smile.
I feel better sharing,
I hope you understand,
Motherhood is hard sometimes,
But we'll all muddle through.
