Summer camp but make it home edition
Every day was the same endless repetition
“What are we doing today?” is how I woke up every day
“Something fun,” I lied, but what else was I to say
At first there were crafts, backyard sports, and baking
I was going to make the best of the situation, every minute of my waking
Those were my initial thoughts, so happy, so hopeful
But as time went on the thoughts grew more woeful
I was running out of both activity ideas and patience
As much as I tried there was no feeling of complacence
Why was everything a fight? I couldn’t understand
My fellow mom friends and I vented about the problem at hand.
We talked, related, and cried; it was nice to feel understood
It also helped us realize that with struggles came lots of good
There was the family bonding, we all grew closer to each another
I taught my daughter how to ride her bike, she then taught her brother
There was the time we set out to go camping and were back home before nine
We learned not to take anything for granted, whether it be people or time
So while I’m sad that the weather is colder, my thoughts are contrasted
Goodbye summer, was it great while it lasted?
