I have to go to work.

The both of you are upset and mad,
But I had to do what was best.
I picked you both up in my arms,
and whisper you'll be okay.
Please be on your best behavior
and don't be a pest,
I'm leaving you two here,
and I'll be back for both of you, my dears.

    Ah, I remember the first few times I left my daughter with a sitter, I cried and cried. I had been home with her for a year and a half. After I left, of course, she was just fine, but when I left her there upset I felt so horrible. After a few days, she loved it there. Now, she's 17 and in just a few short months she will be graduating from high school. And, now I cry again.

    This is very original, I like that you are expressing an everyday mom experience that so many will relate to.

    It is really sad that so many women who would like to be stay at home mothers cannot be. Either as single parents or as dual breadwinners, they must work to support their families. Women seem to carry a greater burden than the men in the family unit. They are responsible for the kids, cleaning, cooking and such and still have to work. Not an even balance at all.

    This was a very unique topic for a poem and I thought you did it well. I know how hard it is to have a small child be apart from a close parent, and it can be hard on not just the kid but the parent to. The only criticism I can find with this poem is the verb tenses are off on one or two words. Your poems are always most excellent glimpses into little parts of life and that's cool. Also, thanks for the nice comments on my poems. They are much appreciated.
