enough is enough

 A poem by Lyndsay Rush 

The day is ending and 

I have no made a dent in my laundry list of tasks

nor in my laundry 

I did not text everyone back or finish my workout 

or make sense of my inbox 

But I did kiss ten tiny toes to a chorus of giggles a

And I got high off the scent of a small, fuzzy head 

I flipped through thick page after thick page of rhyming books

and I sang all of our favorite, made-up songs 

I felt the weight of your little body and our big, new life 

and somehow our one foot in front of the other 

The day is ending and 

depending on your point of view 

I have done nothing 

                            or everything
