This Too Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass
Inspired by Sherry.
The love of my life and mother of my children.

I hate the bloating
The pain
The constant irritation
Daily sickness
My body's swelling
I'm tired of being tired
This too shall pass

The screaming
The pain
My child torn from my body
Midnight feedings
The constant crying
I'm tired of being tired
This too shall pass

My voice is sore from yelling
The headaches
I have a three year old
I remember sitting down
There is never enough time
I'm tired of being tired
This too shall pass

The worrying
The heartaches
What is my child doing now
Frustration
The teacher conferences
I'm tired of being tired
This too shall pass

Tuition rates are up
Their grades are down
Why doesn't my child understand
Calling for more money
Financial irresponsibility
I'm tired of being tired
This too shall pass

Gray hair
Never stop worrying
Why do they drive all night
Never see them enough
Never enough time
I'm tired of being tired
This too shall pass

I can see their tears
Their loving smiles
They seem so sad now
I can feel their touch
Their warmth
I'm so tired of being tired
But I don't want this to pass
