Bubble Bath

Let me rest, close my eyes, and drift away.

I will go where diapers are never found,

Where no one spills juice as they run and play,

And no cracker crumbs spread all around.

This bubble bath soothes both body and mind,

Taking me from the chaos toddlers bring.

When I step out of this tub I will find,

Renewed strength to rock my children and sing.

As I look down at the rubber ducky,

And the puddles all over the floor,

I am reminded that I am lucky.

I have a family worth living for.

I needed this time to relax and reflect,

And let my tensions go and be relieved.

Now I’ll return to them and reconnect.

I’m given more love than I can receive.
