Mum's Just Can'T Have a Lie In!!!!
I am sleeping
Though quietly
Without them knowing
I am awake
So much need for resting
As Mother's need to do
A lie in
Is an alien word
In the vocabulary of a Mum
And here yet allowed
To all the sleep I can grasp
The laughter of you both comes through
I can smell the toast being made
And wonder
Should I get up and remind you
We have run out of jam
To try the peanut butter
But know I should leave you be
But minutes later
I grab my dressing gown
To see you both laughing
As I say
There's homemade bramble jam
Forget the lie in, is there some for me!!!!
