Working Mother

(Perspective of a working mother)
(monologue for a play)
My days are sometimes,
one long tiring struggle
Work, customers,  kids,  spouse
It can become quite a juggle

Over and above that when
my in-laws show their attitude
I feel like sending the world
for a long course on gratitude

I did not sign up for this
I sometimes do regret
But when my family is happy
All the struggles I forget

Raising a toddler
Is a full time job
Whoever claims otherwise
Must be a part time slob

How to get my increment?
How am I looking today?
Any advise! I don't really care
But how to raise my child well?
and how to complete the project?
If any suggestions, please do share

I will make most of my time
And like pure gold
emerge thru the fire test
I am learning and growing
And under immense pressure
A shining diamond I'll crest
