Small adjustments

I make small adjustments 
Everyday 

I wait to go to potty 
I wait make a phone call
And I wait to write a poem
For someone to be with my kids

I sit to watch some TV 
Knowing i won't watch a program
As the program ends 
As soon as my child wakes up
Or is back from school 

I sit to have food
I go for a walk
I go to buy groceries
Only when my kids are not hungry 

I take my children for walks 
Even if i am a bit tired
I read them stories
Even when i am a bit sleepy

Not big sacrifices 
But little adjustments 
I put my children
Above my needs 

Is this what being a parent is? 
I don't know for sure 
But if it's not done this way 
It feels wrong for sure
