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
Word of the Day – Motherly

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. 🙂

I wrote this in 2014 and have shared it the past couple of years. It has now become my traditional Mother’s Day Poem. For all the beautiful women who bring joy and love to child’s heart, have a blessed and beautiful day!! ❤
A mother’s love is true
For it beautifully blossoms
Like a rose, softly unfolding,
Enveloping,
Opening the heart,
Nurturing the soul
