Crazy Beautiful Chaotic Ride
Moving with agile cat-like abilities
Using stealthy ninja skill capabilities
For even upon their sleep
While sweet dreams they do keep
It's time to kick it into overdrive
Though you only feel half alive
Toys are strewn in every room
Time to break out the dustpan and broom
Found some papers torn and tattered
Like confetti it's been scattered
Stumbled upon another mess
It seems the bathroom was visited by lockness
Tornado alley down the hall
Appears the kids had quite a ball
Innocent minds at play
Creative imaginations and learning ways
Came across their secret lair
Where they play without a care
Flashbacks of echoing giggles
Burning energy expending their wiggles
Rocking to the radio singing and dancing to K-Love
Giving thanks to God above
Look at the time it's after one
Dishes still aren't done
Keep you on your toes and energy they do zap
Always on the go you may be the one who needs a nap
Like lava flowing juice is spilled on the floor
There's peanut butter stuck to the door
Found another blanket fort
Among scattered books of all sorts
Bring out the bucket and mop
For sticky sweet substances they did drop
Take out the trash
You may have finally revived from the crash
So many many clothes to wash
Look at these stains oh my gosh
Late night feedings go by fast
Precious moments gone that do not last
Sneak in a quick shower
Soon they'll be looking for breakfast to devour
Get a couple more hours of sleep
Soon you'll once again hear the pitter patter of little feet
Just when you think you might be done
The fun has really just begun
Bask and enjoy this time while they're still young
You'll miss this and remember when will roll off your tongue
Embrace this crazy beautiful chaotic ride
Children are the greatest blessing to steal your heart and won't always want to be by your side
