THE MOTHERING JOB

THE MOTHERING JOB

I watched my mom fill out an application,

I looked at the line that asks about past 

professions.

I thought to my self, that space is too small

to write down what she's been to over it

all.

She was a nurse when i fell

and scrapped my knee.

She was maid when i didn't

wipe my feet

She was designer when my cloth

didn't match

She was a tailor when my pants

needed a patch

She was my teacher when i ask

question

She was a priest when i had a

confession

She was a psychaiatrist when i came home

crying.

She was a preacher when i got caught

lying

She was a singer when she sung me to

sleep

She was a life guard when she said the

water's too deep.

There are many more, yet the best one tome.

She was a best friend and mine forever

she'll be..
