As a child I was always a rambunctious thing

But I’ve mellowed as I’ve aged, and I’m lucky

To be able to spend time, with verdant spring

Meanwhile, still continuing to be, ever so plucky

Unbalanced we tip

A slip of the tongue follows

Making us human

I do not like green eggs and spam

Send them to Pebbles, and BamBam

They can eat them on a plate

Or share them both, with Mr. Slate

Or maybe Fred would rather eat

Green eggs and spam, oh, what a treat

But Barney, he’s a lot like me

He won’t touch them, no sir-ee

So, if you serve green eggs and spam

Don’t invite me, I’m sorry ma’am

I cannot stomach all that goo

Just think, there will be more, for you!

I do not like green eggs and spam

I much prefer raspberry jam

But that’s another poem, true

For ~M has labeled it twenty-two!

Let us never forget that gentle motherly advice we’d receive

From finishing our dinner, homework, or being careful on the slide

And oh, how very much she loves us, from the day she did conceive

The sound of her voice, the first we heard, while tucked safely inside

The Call of the Child – #MayWriting – #poetry – #MothersDay

She has the loudest roar, than any child I’ve heard

Forget trying to talk to her, she’ll never hear a word

This child, knows how to get her way, she screams

She’s the one, appearing, in nightmarish dreams

Stamping feet and pouting face, until you cave

Once in a while, I really wish, she’d just behave!

Good thing they make plugs, to stick in my ears

Otherwise, along with her, I too, would be in tears

I sigh, and then I calm her, wipe the hurt away

Praying to the Lord above, help her stay this way

But I know it’s not over, there are more heading fast

Oh, how I hate the tweens, and hope they leave real fast

As a mom, I know I must endure, the good along with the bad

I wouldn’t trade it for anything, it’s the best job I’ve ever had!

 

Dedicated to all the mom’s who have those 12-14 year olds, still finding their footing. 🙂
