I am SAHM, SAHM I am

(Poem written in homage of Dr. Seuss.)

I am SAHM, SAHM I am.

That SAHM I am!

That SAHM I am!

A stay-at-home mom is who I am.

Do you stretch a dollar and pinch pennies?

I do stretch a dollar and pinch pennies.

I even cut coupons to pinch pennies.

Do you carpool to save on gas and time?

I do carpool to save on gas and time.

I even cook and clean all the time.

I am SAHM, SAHM I am.

A stay-at-home mom is who I am.

Would you drive your kids everywhere all day long?

Would you teach them right from wrong?

I do drive my kids everywhere –

To church, grandma’s, and to cut their hair.

I do drive my kids all day through –

From school, soccer, and playdates, too.

I do give them good advice.

I do teach them to be nice.

I do tell them not to shout.

I do tell them not to pout.

Would you choose a career over your kids?

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

Not the next day.

Not any day.

I would not change a thing.

I would not give up a thing.

I am SAHM, SAHM I am.

A stay-at-home mom is who I am.
