And We Remember It's a Beautiful Life

 

Parenthood is

Crying kids, fighting siblings, and shouts filling the house of “Mine!”

But then it’s seeing the sibling love, pride, and no one messes with a sibling of mine

And we remember it is a beautiful life

 

Parenthood is

Sleepless nights of infancy, temper tantrums of toddlerhood, and adolescent defiance and lies

But then it’s snuggles and hugs, “I love yous”, and those moments of gratitude in their eyes

And we remember it is a beautiful life

 

Parenthood is

Broken doors, leaking facets, and neverending expense of another repair

But then it’s looking at the house we made a home that shows how much we care

And we remember it is a beautiful life

 

Parenthood is

The pile of bills, extra hours worked, sacrifices made,

But then it’s memories, time together, and a life even with its difficulties we wouldn’t trade

And we remember it is a beautiful life

Parenthood is

Dirt, stains, holes, sweat and tears

But then it’s joy, love, and the desire to protect them from all their fears

And we remember it is a beautiful life

 

Parenthood is

Not always pretty, nor easy, and sometimes it seems like we’re always struggling

But it’s a love like no another, moments better than we dreamed, and gives our lives meaning

And we remember it is a beautiful life
