A working mother's confession

[FONT=Georgia, Verdana]Sorry!

Some days when I am busy and tied down
I meet your smile with a frown

You want to tell me about your day
I say, “Later”, and you go away

You want to show me something you made
Wait, I say, and forget instead.

You want me to join in your songs and rhyme
I say “Not now, I do not have time”

I convince myself I am doing my best
By providing you with a cozy nest

I drown the guilt thinking time will stall
Some day I will fulfill your dreams, big and small

But I know these moments will not last
You are growing up so very fast

Tomorrow, when you spread your wings
My hands will be empty, my eyes will sting

I will long for that innocent voice
For the laughter, the frolic and the noise

For the precious secrets whispered in my ear
For the petal-soft hands that held me near

For the pitter-patter of tiny feet
For the loving hugs and the kisses sweet

I will have nothing left but memories few
I will wish I had paused and spent time with you

Then you will be busy, I will be freeI too
I hope that day, you will forgive me!

I too feel the same, May be all working moms feel the same. We feel we are doing our best by giving them all comforts but what we are lacking is we are not sparing quality time with them, that is what they need love, affection and attention - Sunitha shakehead
