A Mother Who Writes

This is a poem about a mother who is a writer.

————

Days are short while nights are long

Singing made up silly songs

She is a mother who writes

While the tiny baby cries

She looks for jobs with sleepy eyes

She is a mom who writes

Blogging about the night before

While her kids nap on the floor

She is a mom who writes

Focusing with lots of noise

Hearing screams from little boys

She is a mom who writes

Working late into the night

While her household sleeps in slumber

She is a mother who writes

Living on caffeine through the day

Typing vigorously on a short essay

She is a mom who writes

Gazing at laundry on the floor

Her thoughts constantly at war

She is a mom who writes

To clean or write plagues her mind

She has two jobs she's been assigned

She is a mom who writes

Writing at a slower pace

Being a parent she'll always embrace

She is a mom who writes
