My little one is sick now,
I wish I could take it all away
My love is unending as it should be,
If I could just trade places for her today.
Lucky by far, it's nothing serious
She came down with the stomach flu
One good reason to be a stay at home mom
Is that I can be there for her when she needs me to
Now the day has past, she's feeling better
My precious one is perking up fine
I know she's thankful I was there for her
My payment? Hugs! Lots of them! All mine!

Ohhhhhhhhh CHRIS you are such a HUGGER ~ when people are sick a HUG is better than 100 Gaviscon Tablets ! We miss your poems when they don't appear ~ but this one is GEM. Where would we all be without MUMMY LOVE ! Blessings to You & Yours and Hugs ~ of course DOCTOR BRIAN !
Thank you for your kind reply! Yes when you're a parent hugs are needed the most! Thanks for the compliment too!
Great job Christina. Great when they are feeling better. They appreciate Mom being there to make it all better 🙂
Yes mine do prefer mom when sick, thanks so much for your reply and your compliment!
I want to kiss you for being a stay at home mom. There are probably other things calling to you that you put on hold to be there for your child. Thumbs up.
Thanks Augustus! Yes, I would like to work but I just wanted to put my kids first because they wont be kids for long. I really appreciate your kind words, they tugged at the heart!
Nowadays the hugs I get are not just from my children but also from my grandchildren - we so blessed to be loved and to love in return. This is such a touching elegant poem Christina I am not surprised it has evoked such a response.
I really appreciate your compliment, Michael! A childs hug is glorious and it means they are, in this case, happy and well. Like you say, blessed to be loved and to love in return. Well said!
That's the best kind of payment for sure! lovely write Christina....
Hugs are the best gift of all! And a healthy child. Thanks NAP!
Wonderfully written and expressed Great write

Welcome
Love this Chrissy
I'm actually ill
At the moment
But it's worse
When it's my kids
Or grand kids..
Very good piece..
I know, you just want to take away any of their suffering. Hope you feel well soon! Thanks for the compliment!
i am a mother of four and i adored this piece! they are growing up now and i enjoyed every moment ~ including sick days with those hugs :0)
I remember calling my mother after my first child was sick (my mother has passed on) and thanking her for being there when I was sick all those times when I was a child. It's worth every minute! And those hugs are priceless! 🙂 Thanks for such a nice comment!
sweet sentiment,nothing like a moms love
Thanks wordman, I appreciate it!
