If you give a mom some quiet, she won’t know what to do.
Should she finish up the laundry or finish cleaning rooms?
She could sweep the kitchen floors or she could sit in silent peace,
Or she could simply take a break and put up her tired feet.
But she hasn’t had a shower
And there’s spit up on her shirt
She should probably take off her yoga pants
But, putting on jeans is work.
If you give a mom some quiet
She’ll tip toe through the house
The lack of noise is sacred
And much needed, there is no doubt.
She’ll find herself conflicted
On what exactly she’ll do
She could binge watch some tv
And eat ice cream, too.
But, there are toilets that need cleaning
And sheets that need washed,
Theres a laundry list of little tasks
That dad has already forgot.
If you give a mom some quiet
She’ll drink wine from a Disney cup
She’ll watch shows that have cuss words
And thank god for her good luck.
But if you give a mom too much quiet
She’ll find herself so lonely
She’ll miss those noisy monsters
The ones that call her, “mommy.”
