I've been working on this poem on and off for a little while now and its finally finished. I wrote this in response to all those well meaning people who struggle to understand why its hard for a mommy to let anyone look after her child.
Please try to understand
although I seem to need a hand
it’s very difficult for me
to leave my precious baby,
with any friend or family.
It'll be different with kid two or three
but for now please be patient with me.
This miraculous little life
that I am to protect from strife.
This child is my soul connection
whom God has charged to my protection.
My mind can spin a scary scene
which makes me feel a drama queen,
so although I know you very well
my guilt and fear become a cell
and your soothing words affirmation
cannot remove my trepidation.
So forgive me, I am very sorry
it’s in my mother-nature to worry.
Apologies if you think me rude
I do not want to start a feud
but for today
I just must say,
NO my child cannot stay to play.
This is so true - well put and in a really polite way too :)
