Today is the day it all starts again
I am barely awake but I made it
Waking was the hard part; I now begin
Looking head on at this day I face it
I worry the children will miss their moms
that they will not remember our faces
It is a long while that they have been gone
I suppose I would cry in their places
We will hold them and soothe them to make calm
We'll assure them their parents are coming
We will hold tiny hands in our own palm
And certainly there will be some humming
But when they stop crying and grin at us
That grin will have been worth all of the fuss
