One day soon,
We will walk into our house, not needing to worry about nap times, sniffly noses, and school pick-ups. Where the living room isn’t full of tiny cars and construction vehicles and our bathrooms aren’t full of rubber animals and boats…
One day soon,
We can wake up leisurely, eat breakfast calmly and allow the warmth of a hot cup of tea settle in our bellies for more than the minute before something falls over or we hear the earnest cries of one of our beautiful babies in desperate need of food, toys or cuddles…
One day soon,
We will have the luxury of lengthy conversations and wonderous storytelling without feeling the ever constant pressure of needing to complete some other part of our multi faceted roles of teacher, caretaker, provider, home-maker, social butterfly and of being ourselves too…
One day soon,
It will be just the two of us, sitting next to each other out on a verandah or on the couch, reliving all the never-ending, chaotic days that passed us… oh, but what a glorious chaos it is, the type that ends each day with laughter and smiles at the memories made, the moments shared, and the growth that followed… living each moment we have today gratefully so that we can give ourselves boundless fond memories to ponder over…
One day soon.
