For my friend Stephanie…I think you can relate
‘some houses try to hide the fact that children shelter there
ours boasts of it quite openly, the signs are everywhere
for smears are on the windows
little smudges on the doors
I should apologize I guess for toys strewn on the floor
but I sat down with the children
and we played and laughed and read
and if the doorbell doesn’t shine
their eyes will shine instead
For when at times I am forced to choose
the one job or the other
I like to be a housewife
but I love to be a mother’

let’s title this poem
ODE TO MOTHERS 🙂
Or we could title it, “why we don’t take baths”.
