Without my children my life's all wrong,
Nothing I do seems to go just right.
I hate to wake up without them here,
They make each day seem so bright.

I miss hearing them yell and fight,
I can't believe I even miss them being bad.
I feel lost, confused, and out of sorts,
They make me happy,without them i'm sad.

Years ago I always wanted a break,
Well I got it, but it's time for to end.
I want a reason to get up early,
Nothing can go wrong that we can not mend.

At first I know it will be really hard,
With them being away, different people to mind.
The rules, the days, the nights, will be better,
We will leave all the hard times behind.
