A Cat's Guide to Motherhood

[carahmellow]

Thanks Busker.... That helped a lot. Here is my revised version taking in some of your advice. might play around with it a bit more.

It was a Tuesday;
husband slumped before a glowing screen,
me, drowning in anxiety
irritated by my child’s blunders
that pressed upon my weary shoulders.

I knelt down to my little one,
my face close, fingers up,
shouts of discipline,
rash and rough.

It was then…
the wise one jumped.
Eye to eye she sat between
me and our shared daughter,
with a glare to cower the weak,
wielding the sword of a mother.

With a solid pop of her paw
to my startled cheek, 
the very cheek her loving forehead bumps,
she reminded me–
her silly little human

to get it together.
