The Childcare Provider

The Childcare Provider

Although I'm not their mother,

I care for them each day.

I cuddle, sing, and read to them,

And watch them as they play.

I see each new accomplishment,

and help them grow and learn, 

I understand their language,

and I listen with concern.

They come to me for comfort,

And I kiss away their tears.

They proudly show their work to me, 

I give the loudest cheers!

No, I am not their mother,

But my role is just as strong.

I nurture them and keep them safe,

Though maybe not for long.

I know someday the time may come, 

When we will have to part,

But I know each child I've cared for

is forever in my heart!
