The Job Mother

Don’t lose you

By Melanie warman Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Piles of laundry and home cooked meals, shopping problems even with deals

Work piles up , paperwork for days, it’s the hardest of jobs that doesn’t pay

It never adds up, credits never due, so many things expected from you

Be a trophy on a shelf, never let them see you cry

Hold a job, pay your part, be sure to never fall apart

Have your dreams but don’t fall short

Keep a budget, grocery shop, a Mother’s job never stops

Stay up late if you have dreams , wake up early to start doing everything

Take care of them , take care of him , take what’s left and that’s now you

Dreams are for dreaming and if you want them to hold meaning…

Try

Keep trying

Try some more

Don’t lose you
