GROWING UP
There are times when
She drives me up the wall
And some other times
I am
summoned by her calls
Mummy, Maama, & Mom
So many names
In different forms
Don’t want this,
And why
can’t I?
Are questions asked
As each day passes by,
Some days are happy,
Some days are bad
When mummy is not nice
And her best friend is her DAD
Solace in my arms,
When she fights with her friend
Next day it’s all patched up
Best friends again till the very end
Friendship bands, cards and little notes
Are measuring my daughter’s steady growth
She now fits into my shoe size
And I am ready to give her worldly advice
Remain nice and humble
Is what I say
That’s what your grandmother taught me many years
away
She smiled and said yes
Right away,
I will be the best girl from today
My heart swells up in pride
My little girl has got her lesson right
A little later,
I walked into her room
Clothes, toys, books, paintbrushes
All over strewn
Mahika, please clean up your room
I said…
Mommy all you do is fret…..
There are times when
She drives me up the wall
And some other times………
