“I Spy” Entrepreneur Mom Life

I make sure my daughters have time to talk to me about anything.

And I have family members spying on all their social media accounts.

I schedule myself to only work during my business hours.

I also stay up late thinking of ways to grow my business.

I pray for my sanity every morning before I engage my teen and tween.

They have interesting mood swings. One second they’re angels, thirty seconds later they’re banshees.

Did I cry tears of gold? Or hide behind sheets of stars? When you swam through my oceans of pain, how were you able to see me?

I feel your presence, your strength, enter me. Your soul covers me.

You see me, my love.

Your words dance inside of me. Now our bodies are combined.

I like talking to you without even having to speak.

You hear me when I’m silent.

You didn’t know how much I was willing to give you,

until I was completely depleted.

Your laughter tickled me, until I learned what your initials meant.

Now I have concerns…

I could never imagine a moment without your presence in it. Even when you’re not near.
