A Mothers Truth

A Mothers Truth

Four kids running through the house
   did create a mighty din
At times it still rang in my head
   even after I tucked them in

I would never change a thing
I hold them high above
For all the happiness they bring
They're my children, they're my love.

Hi Anne Marie, I just found this, my mail doesn't send me notices anymore and I don't know why. Thank you for your sweet comment :) My Mom had 8, I was 2nd born, the first girl. I had TONS of experience with kids way before I had a set of twins and 2 others of my own. Anyway, Thank you and I was/am a special Mom... (cheeky grin) :)

Very well expressed, Lenna. Children are such a joy ... to be blessed to shape and guide their innocent minds is a gift. Wonderful poem, dear. Love and more love to you and yours.

Thank You kindly Freddie :) My Mom had 8, and I decided very young that I would only have 4 ...... what was funny .... on the 3rd pregnancy I decided 3 would be it, then I had twins........ hahaha, I got those 4 I planned on after all. Thank you for stopping by Freddie :)

Your feelings surface and carry the reader into an emotional tide and let it wash over us. The words are meaningful and the message is tenderly offered and accepted. Emile.

You have four children, Lenna? Or is my autistic mind taking things literally again :) Anyway, I love this sweet poem very much. I can see the tiredness kick in after a whole day, but the love is so obvious too!

My mother had 13 of us, but believe me four is a load too. Great job being a mother, Lenna. Love and hugs,

Hi Darren :) Yes, I do have 4 children. One set of twins (boy and girl) and 2 older daughters and believe me, they did tire me out... especially when I worked full time also. Thank You, I am glad you liked it :)
