We tick off the days
Each is a distance marker
The race doesn’t end

Fridays aren’t the same
No ‘weekend’ for a mummy
The work never ends

As he crawls by you
Cam waves his foot in the air
You grab it and suck!

You won’t go to sleep
Midnight drive brings peace at last
Temporary quiet

Went to feed the ducks
Pesky seagulls stole their food
Squarking and flapping

Rocking you to sleep
Even though they say not to
Do whatever works

Can’t quite describe it
Overwhelming love for you
I’m yours and you’re mine
