Mom needs a minute

Mom hides in the bathroom to escape the sound, With a book in her hands, longing for peace. But her grown-up daughter just keeps coming around, Mom dreams of quiet and a bit of release. “Give me a break, just for an hour or two, I need some peace to relax and unwind. You’re always around, and it’s wearing me thin, I crave some silence, if you don’t mind.” Mom’s in the kitchen, cooking up a meal, Daughter’s asking questions, “What’s for dinner tonight?” Mom wishes for calm and a chance to just heal, To escape endless chatter and find some respite. “Give me a break, just for an hour or two, I need some peace to relax and unwind. You’re always around, and it’s wearing me thin, I crave some silence, if you don’t mind.” When you’re grown up, you’ll get my plea, For a little quiet, you’ll see how it feels. If you catch me hiding, don’t be surprised, I’m just seeking some calm, not a big deal. “Give me a break, just for an hour or two, I need some peace to relax and unwind. You’re always around, and it’s wearing me thin, I crave some silence, if you don’t mind.” When you become a mom, you’ll recall this plea, For a moment of quiet and a break from the fray. For now, just know I need some time alone, To enjoy a bit of peace, in my own way.
