The position to be filled
Is 24 hours a day
7 days a week
Sleep can’t get in the way
No holiday is given
No, you won’t be paid
You’ll be a cook, a Dr, a Teacher
A seamstress, engineer and maid.
These are just a few jobs
In the description that you’ll find
And I really have to tell you
You will end up losing your mind
You must be patient and calm
Try not to lose your shit
Which is nigh on impossible
On days when you’re sick of it
You must be used to being
Behind your team
Because you’ll always be pushing
For them to follow their dreams
Sometimes it will feel
Like you can’t go on
You feel you’re not very good at it
But you couldn’t be more wrong
This job is hard
And no training you’ll get
But you won’t hand in your notice
It’s the best job yet
The cuddles and smiles
The tight given hugs
Are better than money
And filled with much love
No matter how hard
Your days seem to be
When you hear their laughter
The bad days are a distant memory
A love unconditional
A very special bond
Between mother and child
To infinity and beyond.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

I really appreciated the tome shift there, from warning of drudgery to hope and joy 🤗 Thank you for sharing!
