Busy Mom
I wrote this in 1994 on a scrap of paper from the office where I was working part time. Life with husband, six kids and a part time job was a lot to handle at the time, especially since I was driving the kids to school (13 miles each way) and picking them up. The five students were 13, 11, 9, 9, and 7.5 and the youngest was 2 and a half. After two more years of this I quit the part time job and it was the best decision ever.
Busy Mom
By Sharon L. Bratcher
Busy schedule, like a race
Never home, but on the chase
Moving, moving constantly
Mega output energy.
Buildings, smog and dirty slush
Pass them, always in a rush
Most of life is have-to-dos
Do them all, don’t miss your cues.
Oh, to sit awhile and sit
Real still, no guilt, a real long sit.
Just start around and smell the air
And mostly, not go anywhere.
A respote from our daily grind–
If on our journey this we find.
I’d like to watch the flowers grow,
My children running to and fro.
