Maid to be a Mother
Welcome to the home that
lives within this house,
where loving little kids
is all that really counts.
The dishes in the sink,
the crumbs upon the floor,
And all the dirty laundry
are secondary chores.
Now don't assume I'm lazy
by looking at this mess,
I put in 40 hours and still
don't take a rest.
I polish little minds as
bright as they can be,
And sweep out tiny hearts
and keep them pure and clean.
Each and every soul is scrubbed
until it gleams,
I also pick up spirits,
should they ever lose a dream.
So push the clothes on over
and have yourself a seat -
Excuse the toys and cookie
crumbs sticking to your feet!
Judge me as a mother, not
the maid I ought to be,
I prefer sparkling little
lives to a house dirt free.
