Mother (A Haiku)

Mother

Madonna’s heart
Open so wide
Tenderness, love and care
Her beauty blessing
Every day
Reflecting heaven there

Beautiful Mother

A beautiful lady and beautiful heart
With kindness in bounty and peace to impart
So selfless and caring with much to bestow
A wonderful matriarch, friend never foe
To adore and look up to with lessons in grace
Munificence goodness ; humility’s face
Accepting and tranquil, with calmness and love
A beautiful Mother on the wings of a dove

Being Mum

I swear I tidied up today
But strewn across the floor
Are toys from lego to doll’s clothes
Cars, jigsaws and lots more.

I swear I did the wash just now
But the laundry’s everywhere
From socks to pants and sticky vests
All draped without a care.

I swear I did a mammoth shop
And filled a trolley so,
But now the cupboard’s emptied out
Where did all that food go?

I swear I cooked and served a meal,
But the child is still hungry!
He’s gobbled down a three course meal
And now wants more for his tea!

I swear I said turn the TV off,
That bedtime is quite near.
But strange to say those words are lost
Falling on a deafened ear!

I swear I swear such things a lot
But sometimes just stop dead
And question if I did all these
Or imagined them instead!
