I wrote this as a journal several months ago, but thougth I'd dig it back up to honor CafeMom's 3rd birthday!
~CafeMom~
Cold coffee, cold feet, matted hair...
Into a screen filled with friends
for hours we stare.
Still in our jammies, still not in our clothes
we read page after page,sharing our woes.
The laundry piles up, the dishes aren't done,
our computers compete with the setting sun.
Hours slip by as we share our stories
and laugh and cry...
We're drawn to these people,
we aren't sure quite why.
Our men think we're crazy, our kids roll their eyes,
at these unseen strangers to whom we've made ties.
Who'd have thought it could be
in this day and age,
that a website for moms would be all the rage?
Whether during the day, or deep in the night
I know someone out there shares exactly my plight.
Friends I can't touch send words from the heart,
their love comes through, though we're miles apart.
They've helped me so much, I hope I've helped too.
Without CafeMom, what on earth would we do?!
