There’s no end too my life
As a mother and wife!
Mum!!! Where’s my shoe
Son! you’re making me blue
Mum!!! Can I have a lolly?
Son! Stop mucking about in the trolley.
Mum!!! Can we go park…
Son! It’s going, dark…
Mum - No it isn’t - Mum!
Yes, it is son!
No it isn’t - Mum!!!
There’s no end too my life
As a mother and wife!
O Love! Where are my socks…?
Darling… I don’t know. Love, set the clocks
Love! Pass me the remote…
Yes, darling… Love! Can you make some tea?
O Love!! Run me a bath
Yes.
…darling…
He sees her seething wrath…
As finally she rests and sleeps at last.
Mum!!! Mum!!! Mum!!!
Johnnies being sick…?
There’s no end too my life
As a mother and wife!

Hi Mark, loved this straight forward and so so true poem, made me smile and remember all of what was written and its true us women are gluten's for punishment with children and men at times and forget about our own needs lol, but we love doing it or would not do it. :}
It could of been longer which I am craving for but still really great reading and made me smile when needed it too.
Keep smiling
keep writing :)

Hi prettyrose I was thinking it could have been a bit longer but then it might have been over worked and said more than was needed… it does feel a little bit short, but we all have our own experience of how we put on others and not just wife's and mothers. Thank for your lovely comments there much appreciated. :)
