PILOTING
The time of day I like the best,
Is when the kids have gone to rest;
Downstairs I go, to flop out flat,
No demands for "this" or "that".

*********

A pilot has a separate cabin,
Away from all confusin' gabbin';
A Mother needs her solitude,
Away from all her noisy brood.

A pilot has a course to steer,
The duties are defined and clear;
But Mother has her own course must chart,
She finds the answers in her heart.

A pilot watches with careful eye,
The horizon afar, the things nearby;
A Mother must have infinite view,
Yet watch the details closely too.

************

So, time of day I like the best,
Is when the kids have gone to rest;
For I would check my course again,
As Mother of to-morrow's men.
