The Mommy Muse

Off into summer we go
With a new 3rd grader and tweenager in tow
Seeking adventures both near and far
wondering what the limits of staying up late are

Setting up outings, camps and such
Why do children think parents don't know much?
Asking about cell phones, sleepovers and junk food
Brooding, hormones and a bunch of attitude

Getting the girls captive out on our boat
Forgetting the boys, new outfits, and TV remote
Holding them hostage in their youth a few days more
Tubing, and skiing and joking galore

Raising up two little ladies is no easy task
Asking God's guidance each day I must ask
Why must time speed by at such a fast pace
These are a few questions this Mommy must face

So onward we go, Eric and I
Praying we're raising them right in God's eye
Set the example, some good and not others
But doing our best as Father and Mother
