Tribute to stay at home moms ( from a writing by melvina germain) 10/28/11
To the stay at home moms (sahm) I must say I honor you in every way. I made my wife stop working when she got pregnant Forty six years ago, and real love is what my daughter got to know.
She is there every step of the way and my heart thanks her every day. up in the morning at the crack of dawn To change diapers , bathe the baby, change the clothes And with the baby is where she belongs.
She is a woman with many hats, and for her There is no turning back. A mother, housekeeper , cook, and wife Accepting all these struggles and strife. You may not hear her complain But when things go wrong, she is the first to blame.
We all may have a lot of food on our plates And forget what they are going thru , but Do you honestly think you could do her job too? we may be the bread winners and struggle at work But we did not have to go through the pains of giving birth.
Do any of you men think that you could hold A child in your stomach for nine months Of morning sickness, weird cravings, sleepless nights And with your partner you would fight.
They could only sleep on their backs or on their sides Would you like to give that a try? They look at you in your sleep and thank GOD For all that you do, but they need compensation too. There is another hat that they may wear, when They have to become the C.P.A. and balance The check book so you donβt overdraft And turn around and get on her ***. So many hats and so little time, and when you ask Them they say they are doing fine.
So to all the (sahmβs) out there with you this poem I share You deserve not just a flower, a outside dinner Or a movie, but the biggest THANK YOU From our hearts, because in our lives You are the greatest part.
