While You Were Sleeping

I tucked all the kids in bed Read them nighttime stories Laughed, smiled and played with them And hugged them good night I woke up every morning, woke my angels up Prepared breakfast, fed our angels Got them ready, and got them to school on time Smiled and hugged them good day I went to my third job I the mommy, I the daddy And tried to get home in time to welcome our kids Got dinner ready, did homework, Baths and showers Laughed, smiled and played with them And hugged them as much as I could Because you chose to be gone My bond with my kids, our kids Grew stronger every hug.
