always/never

always tired
never alone

always on call
never rested

always hungry
never ready

always another diaper to be changed
never prepared

always prepping
never clean

always cleaning up
never enough milk

always dirty
never finished

always running around
never caught up

always cooking
never asleep

always interrupted
never satiated

always anxious
never alone

always awake
never better

always rushing
never warm

always cleaning up
never worse

always exhausted
never enough money

always distracted
never polished

always cold
never clear

Always never ends.
Always always changes.

I love your post as it reminds me exactly how mothering felt. From this perspective I want to assure you that your present always will pass/change.

Love you always.
