Motherhood is

Always scary

A lot of messy

And a little hairy

Some times are

Light and airy

And other times

It’s loud canaries

Early mornings and

Goodnight Hail Marys

Motherhood is

Legendary

You’ll get some tears

But they’ll vary

Some are shared

With stress and sherry

Others come with

Joy and merry

There are struggles

Fights and tearing

But also laughter

Love and caring

Motherhood is

Life sharing

It is not

Temporary

To your kids

You’re necessary

They depend on

Your unitary

And you’re paid

Honorary

With their hugs

And wet raspberries

Motherhood though

Is monetary

You’ll pay bills

Like a secretary

Do the shopping

Buy so much dairy

Call the doctors

And coach Larry

Handle dinner

Like a culinary

You’ll be a teacher

And the apothecary

But motherhood is

Is confectionary

So much sweetness

But dietary

You’ll share cuddles

Under blankets buried

With kisses on top

Like candy cherries

Tickle time is

A sanctuary

Motherhood is

Extraordinary
