So This Is Motherhood

Maddening.
Consuming.
Head-stuffing.
Forehead in my hands disbelief.
Bone deep fatigue.
Silent pleaing.
Aching feet.
Aging knees.
Eating on the run.
Singing non-stop for baby.
Gentle surprises.
Foregone fashion.
Observing delight.
Broken toys.
Bottomless baskets of laundry.
Wrecked balance.
Quick prayers.
Stains.
Anxiety.
Questions.
Doubt.
A lot of doubt.
Remembering.

So this is motherhood for today.
