I am Mother

I am mother
I am teacher
I am nurturer
I am love…

Who am I kidding? These kids are gangsters!!!

I am referee
I am judge
I am the bringer of chores
I am the enforcer of homework

And then

I am the listener of unfunny jokes
I am the sympathiser of lost chocolates
I am the vacuum cleaner of unfinished foods
I am the dishwasher that never breaks

But let’s be clear.

I am the receiver of beary hugs
I am the cherisher of handmade Mother’s Day Cards
I am the adorer of pictures on the fridge
I am the claimer of all the household I love you’s

I am mother!
