Joys of Parenting

Sitting watching shows today
With my little man smiling
Only four months old
And I promise my dear
That this life I've given
Must have been sent from heaven
I've never been happier
Than I am sitting here
With mommy's little man


This comp is about how you felt with your kiddos.
Rules:
Co-op or solo okay
New entries only please
Can rhyme but doesn't have to
8 - 15 lines only please


You have 2 weeks. Have fun poets ^.^

I don't see why you couldn't. But remember. It has to be about the joys of Parenting. Which honestly, I didn't understand until after my son was born

In My Eyes

tiny hands
and happy giggles
snuggled in a chair
book of Seuss
before bedtime
a moment in my mind
triggered
by spontaneous hug
and words of love
as my heart
fills up with pride
baby girl
all grown up 
my heart
is in my eyes

Fits 
of laughter 
bubble and burst 
splashing everyone with joy 
an infection no one minds

My Cubs

I still remember when they’d come in my room,
One barely walking, the other crawling,
The oldest one talking calling them,
Like little cubs with smiles like rays of sunshine,
It was contagious, we’d all start smiling back.

Sometimes I miss those days,
But I don’t miss changing diapers or bottles,
Bringing up boys was a different challenge,
Now we have new kinds of battles.

Puberty! The mother of all game changers,
I don’t remember being this way, but these days,
With tablets and phones, I get those tones,
The kind I wish just to get over this phase.

But it’s all worth it, even when days are bad,
Especially when the texts just say, I love you dad.

Thank you GothicQueen for the honor on this comp. It certainly feels great to talk about my kids and be recognized for it. Congratulations to Trix and Willows for their beautiful entries.
