The Picture

She sees her older kids off to the school bus Then takes her little one to preschool She then comes home and spends the whole day in bed Until her kids and husband return home And they ask "mommy how was your day?" She says "it was a good. I did this and that. I had so much accomplished today" She then warms up quick frozen meal for the family And the cycle continued for years She says adderral saved her life She couldn't function Of all the medications she tried, this one brought sun and rain back to her life She can now wear her make-up, look good and get out of the house She can now dance in the rain as her bundles of joy sprout But she has a divorce coming, soon And, she looks at it with a positive eye
