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

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

    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)

    Your post inspired me, so I shall once again leave a link to your site once I have finished writing a post inspired by your entertaining poem.

    I love motherhood.

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

    I would feel the same if I were a mom, but yeah I would totally get down and eat some mac and cheese with the kids. LOVE that stuff!!! ;-)
