Mom's Retreat

Don't beat on that door. There's no need to shout. I hear loud and clear. I'm not coming out. If I hear, "Mommy, why?" I may lose my mind. Let me have silence. I've got to unwind! No noses to wipe. No picking up toys. No bottoms to clean. No deafening noise. I'm not fixing snacks. Broke up my last fight. Go fend for yourselves. I'm gone for the night. Crying and whining will not work today. I'm staying cocooned in my hideaway. Go get your Dad. It's his turn, I say To soothe bumps and scrapes, Shoo bad dreams away. When I close my eyes I dream of a place Candles and music, chocolate and lace. With my eyes open, I can't help but see Stains and the mess of my reality. Is that a dark ring around the bathtub? I long for a place I don't have to scrub. Ten minutes to pray is all that I ask I'll be Mom again - my favorite task! Copyrright 2005 by Donna J. Shepherd. All rights reserved.

I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.
