The things I've learned from being a mother

The things I've learned from being a mother....

It's a high reward job that's like no other

If I tried to write my mum CV

It would make me proud of what I've achieved

Commitment - completely dedicated

Despite lack of sleep or feeling deflated

Creative - Can find something to distract

And make up a game at the drop of a hat 

Perceptive - I know when a little one's lying

And now they know there's no point in trying

Multi tasker  - housework, family,  

it mostly flows fine (!)

I'm mother, wife, daughter, and work full time 

Psychic - I know where you've left that sock

And when bedtime is needed without any clock 

It's a lot of  hardwork and minimal pay

It's emotionally draining, a 12 hour day

But despite all the tantrums, and times of high stress

The cleaning of floors, constant goo on my dress

There's nothing I'd change, so much it has brought us

Just a smile from my son is the best kind of bonus
