I Am

I am a mother

Tired all the time still I'm happy

Exhausted but full of energy

Puffed out totally

Still breathing out vitality

Highly overworked

But always on-toes and ever ready

Incapacitated due to circumstances

Still cheerful and lively

I am a mother

Whipped hard but frothy, shiny, creamy

Fried to the core still crisp and sunny 

Grilled hard but react kindly

Baked like a cake still tender and soppy

I am a mother

I am nutty, I am gritty

I shout, I scream

I cry I weep, I roar, I shriek

I love, I hate, I hug, I release

I demand, I surrender

Thus I keep myself busy

For I am a mother

And will always be.........
