I awake at two in the morning
The house was really dark
Even the kids night light
Was struggling to leave its mark
I placed my feet onto the floor
I gently rose from bed
I wandered into the bathroom
My mind racing inside my head
Did I lock the front door
Are my kids safe tonight
Why do I feel the need to check them
When I know they are alright
For I can hear their breathing
From the landing where I'm now stood
It's hard for some to understand
The joys of motherhood!!
