Motherhood ~ Loree (Mason) O'Neill ~ Living Each Day

You know you've got,
Just what it takes,
When you dry tears,
And still bake cakes.
If you can pay,
The bills on time,
And keep a house,
Like spit and shine.
If you can stretch,
A dime that's thin,
Turn mud that's thrown,
Into a win,
If you can trudge,
Each long, hard mile,
And still present,
A loving smile,
If you can keep,
Your mind these days,
Then you deserve,
Much love and praise.
If you can be,
All things you must,
Keep up the pace,
And not go bust.
And come out smelling,
Like a rare rose,
Sharp of mind,
Still on your toes,
Then you've not failed,
In what you do,
And Motherhood,
Looks good on you.
