Mums Will Always be Mums

I’ve just had an exhausting few days away being a mum again.

Image via Wikipedia

I have been away so have not had much time

To do many reads or write verse and rhyme.

I’ve been doing my motherly duties once more

For my son who always has jobs galore.

He asks me to stay claiming I need a break,

And I always seem to make the same mistake,

For once there I’m presented with a list.

He knows me so well and that I won’t resist

The challenge of making his home sparking clean

And feeding him good wholesome haute cuisine.

So I’ve polished and hoovered and cleared rubbish out.

I’ve cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms and windows throughout.

I’ve stocked up his fridge and have frozen some meals.

It’s hard when you’re working, I know how he feels.

And now I’m back home and I’m frazzled and worn

With only the energy to lie down and yawn.

So next time he offers to have me to stay

I’ll tell him I going on a long holiday

Only joking!!

Ha ha, nice one Christine. Great poem and all so true!

I know for sure you are a good mother! and I can imagine you preparing haute cuisine. Reminds me of my dear Mother when she was still alive. A Mum’s heart is a treasure we all cherish.
Another magnificent write, Christine.

Great write and you are a great mother. My husband calls my oldest daughter a moocher, every time she comes over she wants something, or needs something done. He doesn’t understand. I do understand you being tired so please take time to rest and I will eagerly await your next write. Adrian

Hope you feel better Christine:)

I wish my Mom was as nice. Well then again when I was living on my own she always brought me food when I was short on cash. She wouldn’t clean for me or do my laundry though. That is a good thing however, since I would much rather do that on my own. I was always thankful to her whenever she would bring me needed food. I am living back with her now so that isn’t such a big deal anymore. I do plan on moving out by year’s end if I am lucky and have made the needed money.
You sound like a caring mother and I hope your son appreciates you.
Sharif Ishnin on Feb 13, 2011
Lol. What won’t a mother do for her kids? Taking a holiday is good excuse though. Amusing and an enioyable post Christine.
Suni51 on Feb 13, 2011
I was just listing an advert that said- Every one gets a leave even for a slightest of thing, but mothers never get a leave, other than a maternity leave, but the kid is still with her.
PR Mace on Feb 13, 2011
No matter what we are always a mother first and we have to take care of our chicks.

Once a mother, always a mother, but definitely time for you to relax a while – most definitely after all that!
papaleng on Feb 14, 2011
You are a good mum and you’ll always be. Another nice poem Christine.
Erin Miller on Feb 14, 2011
What about a father who takes care of a kid?
Goodselfme on Feb 14, 2011
You certainly are an attentive mother beyond that label. Well done poem.
LadyElena on Feb 14, 2011
Oh… your son is so lucky and that dish in the photo looks delicious. Welcome back.
Betty Carew on Feb 14, 2011
Ha ha Christine this is halarious but so true. It seems that all kids are the same when it comes to Moms. But I get the feeling you really don’t mind lol.
Brewed Coffee on Feb 14, 2011
Mothers never seem to take holidays. They are always up and about.

Christine, I know just how you feel. I’m in for the same thing this week end. Will we ever learn?
Val Mills on Feb 17, 2011
Gosh, I nearly missed this one! Glad I didn’t. When ever we go visiting we go armed with frozen meals too. Fortunately i don’t have to do the cleaning though. This poem is delightful.

Lynn Hollis on Feb 22, 2011
Truth in rhyme. Good poem.
Nina Mason on Feb 22, 2011
Yes the things we do for our children. Often times more than we would do for ourselves sadly.
I know your tiredness and relate to it.
Great poem on Mum’s Christine.
Erin Miller on Feb 22, 2011
