POEM - When I am a Mother



When I am a mother

I will not cut my long hair
Or drive a mini van
I will wear heels to the mall
I will work out five days a week
And never spank my child
I will keep up with the latest music
I will write in my journal daily
I will go back to school
and still see the concerts and movies
that i enjoy
I will not have cartoons on all day
I will not eat my child’s macaroni
I will not lose myself
I will not lose myself

  1. When people look back a hundred years from now, they will rank the name of Thunderroad79 among Whitman and Frost. Well done!

  3. That's one of my biggest fears - losing myself when I have kids...and how it will change my marriage...

    thanks for the wonderful compliments. I don't ever see my name amongst the likes of Whitman and Frost...on second thought maybe Emily Dickinson(ha ha)

  6. How do you cut your hair long? I've always wondered about that saying!
