Keeping the home - or attempting to - as a Gen X Mom of four and wife to one. This blog is on keeping the children & dh happy, keeping the house, keeping God in first place, keeping the chickens & the bunnies, keeping homeschool & more. I'm not the person who is ahead of you in motherhood knowledge. I'm just the gal right beside you, pushing the stroller, dragging the preschooler, and hollering at other kids while wishing they'd grow up and wishing they'd stay little, all in one thought.

"Shadows"
I saw a young mother
With eyes full of laughter
And two little shadows
Came following after.
Wherever she moved,
They were always right there
Holding onto her skirts,
Hanging onto her chair.
Before her, behind her-
An adhesive pair.
"Don't you ever get weary
As, day after day,
Your two little tagalongs
Get in your way?
She smiled as she shook
Her pretty young head,
And I'll always remember
The words that she said
"It's good to have shadows
That run when you run,
That laugh when you're happy
And hum when you hum -
For you only have shadows
When your life's filled with sun."
