MAUUUU

The duties of a mother

Ma is a woman of stamina

at any moment she could be found

nursing an infant

only to be rudely interrupted

by a trail of toddlers bawling

a husband always complaining.

 

She knows no comfort comes to the one who frets

so she remains content in her life dealt:

     voices complaining, demanding

     phones ringing, doors slamming.

 

At days end

she'd hurry herself along

to Family night at school

the boys basketball game

back home to plait

   the girls hair before bed.

 

Finally she closes her eyes

her mind still roaming

quietly, lovingly listening

   for that sweet sound.   "Mauuu!"
