About the Poem
Every day can be a stressful experience when you have children, you can either take that out on your children or live with it and make their lives happy and face the stress after they have gone to bed (As I have done many long nights). They are only little once, the chance doesn't come back around.
The Very Best Mommy |
| by Sandra Tolson |
| Have I spent the time I should have Gave the best of me Listened with my heart Saw the way they see? Have I loved them like they've needed Let them know I care Let them just be children Felt their love so rare? Have I thanked God above today Smiled a "Mommy" smile Talked to them about their dreams Gave that extra mile? When I put them into bed tonight Did they feel my love so deep Did they think about tomorrow As they feel asleep? Or did they wonder in their hearts If tomorrow I will be Just a stressed out mommy Or the best mommy I can be? |

I don't think you'll have a problem being a good mommmy, cause you already know what being a good mother is all about. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

This poem made me cry. I have 3 small children and work full time outside of my home. It is very difficult to not be stressed out sometimes, but reading that poem reminded me of what really matters.
