Top of the List

Mom life is not always easy
You have yourself to take care of
Your partner, child, and maybe some others
Be sure to remember that you are one
Of the people on the list
Of those who need your love
And care
And expertise
So be sure to do some of what you love
Every single day
At least once
Preferably more often
And it doesn’t always have to be so grand
It can be as simple as eating a slice of cake
Drinking a tea and savoring it
Calling a friend or family member
Singing your favorite song
Lighting a candle
Cuddling a child
There are so many choices
As to what you can do
To take care of you
So be sure to use your wisdom to get that done
As you do for your loved ones
And always remember that you are top of the list
Of the people you are responsible for
And answer to
Always remember
