A Day May Come: The Lord of the Rings Speech for Mums

A day may comeA day may come when we will not dream of sleep, won’t begrudge the world lie-ins, especially our spouse.

A day may come when we will eat before 9, not hear a child cry just as fork meets mouth.

A day may come when we won’t cry in the street, when our children have pushed us right to the brink.

A day may come when the bickering will cease, and the silence we crave will pervade the house.

A day may come when we will walk upstairs without a bottle, and come down without a dirty nappy.

A day may come when our backs will not ache, our hands won’t be cracked and our heads will not pound.

A day may come when the washing machine is silent, will not be hidden behind mountains of clothes.

A day may come when we will have 6-8, an early evening added back to our day.

A day may come when we’ll wear dry clean only, our hair won’t be dusty with dry shampoo.

A day may come when we can’t pick you up, when our cuddle is not enough to make your tears dry.

A day may come when we won’t know your every thought, won’t cook your every meal, won’t know if you ate.

A day may come when you won’t sit on our laps, won’t let us in, won’t live in our house.

A day may come when the omnipresence of mums fails, when we see more of our friends, and break all bonds with maternity pants, but it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered dreams when the Age of Mum comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we love!
