Stretch Marks and Scars ...A Little Touch of Realism
If being a mother
Were as simple
As hearts and flowers
And greeting cards—
But it isn’t.
It’s temper and tears,
Anguish and fears—
Mornings
When getting up or lying down
Makes
Little difference.
But every now and then
You look into their eyes
And realize
Despite all the tiredness
The frustration and fights,
There is something
Of you in each of them—
And for one moment
You know real joy...
Enough to last a lifetime—
But last?
It won’t...
Or help ease the pain
Of not having
That TV moment
Over and over again.
Yeah, it would be easy
If Hallmark occasions
Didn’t try everyone's patience.
Hallmark and cliches go hand in hand.............always a grain of truth.
A touch of humour..............lovely
Thank you, @justjoy :)
