My life gets a little crazy
From one day to the next
I've learned to just ride the waves
For you never know what to expect

Everyday is a learning experience
As I am challenged with something new
That's all a part of parenthood
You just have to do the best that you can do

At times I think I can't handle it
I have thoughts of running away
Those thoughts only last a moment
For I am here for good to stay

I admit it is not always easy
You just have to take it day by day
Its a beautiful balance though
I wouldn't have it any other way

Here I have these beautiful children
Whose spirits are wild and free
It's my duty to be their rock
For they are both depending upon me

If you watch them closely
You'll notice they have a lot to teach
Their imaginations so lively
And they remind us the skies we can reach

They are also very vulnerable
When you've reached them at their core
Love and affection is what they crave
And they will always want more

To be loved by them is an honor
Just look at those smiles on their face
Enjoy those kisses and giggles
And being wrapped in their embrace

Children are truly a blessing
And though at times its a lot to take on
When you gaze at them in their slumber
That's when you realize the gift you have won
