Spinning

I awake to start a day full of questions and cries, One step at a time, I remind myself, cool down for a moment, A phone call from school, the doctor visit, and the cat got sick on the floor. My day is no where near finished, where does my strength come from? I wish for a moment I could have a minute to myself, the bathroom door does lock, is that cruel? I will always want that minute for me , but always will know that I am rewarded at the end of my day. The kisses good night, the prayers we say, just to see them all snug in their bed, gives me a peace known only to a mother who appreciates the spinning way of life. This is for all the Mothers who live their lives with a little spin.
