Mom’s Retreat ~ a poem
By
Don’t beat on that door. There’s no need to shout.
I hear loud and clear. I’m not coming out.
If I hear, ‘Mommy, why?” I may lose my mind.
Let me have silence. I’ve got to unwind!
I hear loud and clear. I’m not coming out.
If I hear, ‘Mommy, why?” I may lose my mind.
Let me have silence. I’ve got to unwind!
No noses to wipe.
No picking up toys.
No bottoms to clean.
No deafening noise.
No picking up toys.
No bottoms to clean.
No deafening noise.
I’m not fixing snacks. Broke up my last fight.
Go fend for yourselves. I’m gone for the night.
Crying and whining will not work today.
I’m staying cocooned in my hideaway.
Go fend for yourselves. I’m gone for the night.
Crying and whining will not work today.
I’m staying cocooned in my hideaway.
Go get your Dad.
It’s his turn, I say
To soothe bumps and scrapes,
Shoo bad dreams away.
It’s his turn, I say
To soothe bumps and scrapes,
Shoo bad dreams away.
When I close my eyes I dream of a place –
Candles and music, chocolate and lace.
Candles and music, chocolate and lace.
With my eyes open, I can’t help but see
Stains and the mess of my reality.
Is that a dark ring around the bathtub?
I long for a place I don’t have to scrub.
Stains and the mess of my reality.
Is that a dark ring around the bathtub?
I long for a place I don’t have to scrub.
Ten minutes to pray is all that I ask
I’ll be “Mom” again – my favorite task!
I’ll be “Mom” again – my favorite task!

A Note From Jill
CWAHM.com is a dream that God has truly brought to life. I began CWAHM.com in 2000 while learning HTML. I thought it would be a fun hobby and a way to compile all the information I was seeking on working at home. I am a mom of 2 (1 boy, 1 girl), a wife and I do work from home. I accepted Christ as my savior at the age of seven as a Sparky in my church’s AWANA club. I have a Bachelor’s degree from Grace University in Human Development and Family Studies/Bible. I love working from home and I pray that CWAHM will be a blessing in your life as it has been in mine.
