Bleary Eyes
Coffee brewed
Steal away for a moment
Before the moment steals from you
“Mommy, mommy!
It’s not fair”
Screams and tears
“My teddy bear!”
Ideas on scrap paper
Now tucked away
My words
will have to wait
Snuggles and whispers
And boo-boo kisses
The laundry calls
So do the dishes
Ideas beckon
But it’s lunchtime
Short order cook
Kids stand in line
Ideas are calling!
Take a number.
Lovies missing
Problems need listening
Time for baths
Sticky notes will have to do
Bedtime stories
And I love you’s
Good night baby
Good night bear
Pick up socks
And tiny underwear
Songs have been sung
Hearts have been mended
But my ideas sit neglected
Like a garden untended
