Reminiscing On Mother’s Day Poem by Sandra Martyres
Reminiscing On Mother’s Day
Torn between my Blackberry
And my little baby
Is already a tough call
But that is not all
As a working Mom
My cup of woes
Often overflows
A sulking husband
A whining baby
And to top it all
A very demanding Boss
Leaving me at a total loss
My head spins not knowing
On whom I should focus my attention
Indeed I must admit
It is to my baby that I generally submit
He who makes the loudest sound
Is bound to make me turn around
Between husband and boss
It is often the lucky toss
In no particular order
Husband can be chided even derided
For not taking up his share
Of responsibility to manage our baby
This baby line does not work with the boss
He never stops reminding me
About the human approach of the company
In allowing me working hour flexibility
In order to support top table diversity
Never a thought for my high levels of anxiety
So in the interest of propriety
I try to do my bit for my family and society
a working mother is forever at emotional cross-roads...well penned, sandra!
nie tale milady.. i enjoyed in its completeness.
to sum it all..all roads goes back to the family.It is a matter of explaining and understanding..and your priority..I know in the end, love conquers all.. A lovely piece. I love it
You explained your feelings so well and I know how it is to be torn between husband, baby, boss. It all depends what hat you are wearing. It is exhausting and demanding, but the most important thing is to find 'Sandra' time when you can be you. Whether you have to beg, borrow or steal it you must do it somehow and if you think out of the square it will be your salvation. Thank you for your good wishes for Mother's Day and I love your imagery 'torn between my Blackberry and my little boy'. Well done! 10

My hat is off to you madam for you have truly expressed the feelings of many working women in this world that not only work but have children too….even though you may feel tired and beaten up I am sure that you do feel gratified when things are going smoothly otherwise you wouldn’t be doing it…really enjoyed the read, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us…many blessings to you and your family.

God bless all Moms......10 and more from Fay....xx
