While You Sleep

While you sleep I arrange your toys nice and neat

I pack your lunch, kiss your head

I check on you, snuggling in bed

While you sleep, laundry gets done

Crafts are made, sometimes mommy goes for a run

I plan the next day, I schedule some fun

I prepare for the week, sunblock for the sun

While you sleep, I vacuum and sweep

I dust and fold, I worry about you getting too old

I enjoy time with your dad, I sometimes enjoy some wine

I know you are resting peacefully, you are calm, you are fine

While you sleep, I organize the toy bin

And wait for the moment you yell for me to come in

I roll my eyes, not this again…

But then something happens, you’re all cozy and warm

And then you sweetly say with a yawn..

I missed you mommy and I hold you, knowing our time together is not long

enough.
