Me Today as you can... Oh, how you hate me today, I am just the mom. I do the cooking and cleaning, I do the laundry, and all things the word; ick, might one day describe. But know this now, as I pick up your crap, that I would gladly do it again. Not because I love the abuse, but because... I love you. Your bright smile, when I make cookies. The way you laugh when I surprise you. I want to see you dance, as if... only God is watching, that I may know you are happy, both outside... for all to see, and inside, a heart set free. You bite my head off, and listen to everyone else. But I am still praying... God keep his angels all around you, and his loving arms about you.

Hi Ann my friend, is this about chiddren, and how they can sometimes hurt us, not knowinng they are doing so. But we love them to the enth degree unconditionally, the greatest job in the world, seometimes thankless but alwas done selflessly. Ocassionaly it is just a phase they are going through. Hugs and love Ann, Jenny.

This is so well expressed. A big hug to you Ann. It can be a thankless job but in the end you and them will be thankful.

kids, especially once they become teens can make us feel unwanted and lash out words in angered fits for whatever reason but often times they don't mean it... good write Ann...i could see this one unfolding... hugs
