I read this and I thought this might be something you would all enjoy.

----------------- HELP ! ------------------------

Cloudy days and too little sun,
Too much work, too little fun;
Makes a tired and crabby mind,
A tongue too sharp, a conscience blind.

Voices raised, evening laughter loud,
TV on, and noises crowd;
Angry words yelled from the couch,
I hear a whispered, "Mom's a grouch!"

Ah, alas, the hours speed,
Prayers said. And 'hush' the creed;
Unheeded, voices bubble, simmer,
Warned! Threatened! Tired.....eyes glimmer.

Deep breathing; my relief filled sigh,
Tugging blankets---tears still pool in lidded eye,
Cradling tiny head in arms of love,
Crashing shame! Begging help from God above.

Dear God grant me patience, kindness, love, and please,
Guide my thoughts, my words, my deeds;
I want my children to know Your love through me,
Help me to be the mom they need me to be.
