Five Minute Poem

5 minute poem
By Teri VanLieshout
3/3/10

walls half painted
lists of things-to-do
on half-sheets of paper
everywhere

eggs on the counter
dish-filled-sink
dirty egg beaters
baby rocking on her chair

nursing baby,
fussy baby
"momma up,"
hanging on my leg

bible study --  genesis
bad girls need their reading too
plus the lenten reader
oh my, bible sure is getting used

news is on
big girl dancing
laundry waiting
on the bed

more to do,
so little time
so much to do
my aching head

(the life of a mom--
written in about 5 minutes, between tasks,)
