Today..

This dawn..
I woke up to my baby whimpering
Asking for a diaper change

This morning..
I grinned to my sons' smiling faces
As they fought sleepiness to face the day

This afternoon..
I will greet my sons
As they come home tired and sleepy

Then..
I will sing or read a story or listen to their stories
As their eyes slowly closing

Then..
I will lay myself near them
As I invite sleep to come to me

This evening..
I will have to answer tens of questions
As my sons remember everything they experienced during the day

Tonight..
I will find peace within myself
As I remember how eager I was to leave my job to live in days like today
