Mom Survival Kit
Coffee first, dawn’s early light,
Quiet sips, stave off the night.
Sticky notes, to-do's in line,
Phone alarms, a constant chime.
Sneakers ready by the door,
Lunches packed, always four.
A hidden stash of chocolate sweet,
Brief escapes, a tiny treat.
Band-aids, kisses, mended knees,
Soothing words like summer breeze.
Evening's calm, books in tow,
Stories told, love to show.
Strength in smiles, a daily feat,
Mom’s kit complete, never beat.

Inspiration Behind
I was inspired by the real-life juggling act that mothers perform daily. Each element of the “survival kit” symbolizes the practical and emotional resources mothers rely on to care for their families while maintaining their own well-being. This poem is a nod to the resilience and inventiveness of mothers everywhere, celebrating the ordinary yet extraordinary aspects of their daily lives.
