A Month Of THANKSGIVING #14

I'm thankful for my Home. I got this poem from my friend Audrey. She had it hanging in her home and I thought it only fitting to hang in my Home as well.

Excuse this house

Some homes 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 door

I should apologize I guess for
the toys strewn on the floor

But I sat down with the children
we played and laughed and read

And if the doorbell doesn’t shine
Their eyes will shine instead

For when at times I’m forced to
choose the one job or the other

I want to be a housewife
But first I’ll be a mother
