I'm a SAHM too

I know you know you’re lucky

I know how grateful you feel

To get to raise your babies

And feed them every meal

I know you love your job

And your babies every day

So much so it hurts

To hear what you want to say

But I know you need to hear it

To feel like you’re not alone

To lighten that daily load

You often carry on your own

I know it all I promise

I am just like you

So please, sister in motherhood

Let me hold you too

I know that you’re exhausted

I know you try so hard

I know the overwhelm often

Catches you off guard

I know you have your goals

Or dreams for “maybe one day”

I know you’re not just a mum

Despite what society says

I know the years are short

Yet some days can be long

You hardly get a moment to sit or shower

You wonder where you’ve gone

I know you know that feeling

Of getting “nothing done”

Despite pouring your soul

Into each and everyone

I know there is no paycheck

That you do all of the unseen

I know you struggle to see

The impact you’re making

I know you’re sometimes lonely

In the best company you keep

You feel you’ve lost your mind

Because you’re in so deep

I know you know it’s worth it

That you wouldn’t change a thing

That this is the life you love

And the song you’ll always sing

I know it all I promise

I’m right here alongside you

Because sister in motherhood -

I’m a stay at home mum too.
