Saline drops from your brow standing over the pot in hopes that your concoction would satisfy your baby
Maybe I never paid attention to it then
But I see now.
I see now how a purse full of coins weighed less than the burden of making them stretch
Not enough hours in the day
Sleepless nights to make sure I slept well
Maybe I never paid attention to it then
But I see now.
You deserve to sleep, honey
Mama, take your rest.
