A Working Mom's Wish

If only there's a rewind, I 'll stay at home each day. Watch the movies, play in pen. Cuddle my kids, tickle them. Wait the whole day 'til they arrive. Cook them a soup when it rains. Give them a warmest hug, when they reached home after school. Help them do their assignments, Be the best mom as I can be. Collect the pieces of time that I missed. Return the value I once taught them. Regain the memories when we're together. If time permits... I'll go back to the place where I lived. Have a rest in my old bed, Sing the songs until I lose breath. Play with my furry friends. Hide above the roof and dreams. Watch the sky as it pass by. Tell the wind to blow mild. I wish I can still grab a time. To be myself, do what I want. I'm tired.... If only I can stop the time.

A thoroughly enjoyable read AiyaH . I have no children yet but I do hope a father would feel this way too. Daz
