Mom Online

I saw this over at “Christian Homekeeping” and it was a very convicting poem; Many of us probrably don’t have that problem, but it’s still a reminder of how we have to be careful not to let Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, blogging or just being on the Internet to always rule our lives before our Heavenly Father and our family.

Is stats, reader counts more important then something more tangible like Our Heavenly Father and family?

Mom Online

I can hear them calling…so they are fine
“Where’s Mom?” they are saying…Don’t they know I’m online?

We’re hungry I hear…I tell them please hush
Mom is online now, what is the rush?

They had a bite yesterday…when the phone lines were out
These kids will drive you crazy, Oh look, a pout

I dispense bowls of cereal, as I download a file
No time wasted here…I’m a true computerphile!

I check out the boards, and respond to a few…
“We’re so bored”, moan the children, “What can we do?”

I tell them to stop, and please do not whine…
Can’t they see that their mother is busy online??

The grumbling continues as they wander about
“Mom’s ALWAYS on the computer”, together they shout

Unawares to me, they yank the phone line from the jack,
and say “Daddy’s right, this is the way to get Mommy back!”

That is funny, and true in some cases. We didn’t have a computer when my kids were little but we had that problem with the phone! Leticia(Quote)
