Bringing parenting back to basics, helping mums to use their instincts!
<
Power Through: (v.) continue despite difficulties
Not one normally,
To ask for help.
Just power through,
Fine by myself.
Up at night,
Work all day.
No time for rest,
Little time for play.
In control of it all,
How I want to be seen.
No cracks, no failing,
Falling apart at the seam.
Don’t notice the signs,
The aches and the pains.
Ignore the heaviness,
In body and brain.
Niggles, hints,
A break is what’s due.
Still cook, still clean,
Always power through.
Sore throat starts,
Head ache begins.
I will not, cannot,
Begin to give in.
Until it takes over,
Forces me down.
Unable to function,
Do nothing but frown.
Help needed,
Look after me.
Man down, mummy down,
I simply can’t be.
Indulge in my sickness,
Sleep, rest, restore.
Till I’m better and ready,
To power through once more.
Today’s Wednesday Words is going to be another short but sweet one. I have just seen this photo posted on Facebook (for once on FB something I actually agree with!) and had to share.
My instincts have never sat comfortably with any form of controlled crying…have yours?
