My Son Jim |
|
You spilled your milk� Then tossed your spoon Right down across the floor, Tipped over your dish very soon, And calmly asked for more. You chased the dog around the room, �til mama put her out, You hunted �till you found the broom, To break more things� No doubt! You pushed the chair up to the sink, And got into the soap. At times like that I stop and think, � Can there be any hope? From the closet you placed a shoe, Right in the baby�s crib, In baby talk he said: �Goo Goo� I didn�t need that rib!� There stood the cupboard door ajar, You couldn�t miss it Bub, The onions didn�t travel far� They landed in the tub. You hit your sister in the face, Tore up another book, Made such a mess out of the place, That I�m afraid to look. Though whenever I glance your way, You�re busy as a bee, You always find time in your play, To have a smile for me. One more kiss while you sleep in bed, Another day is done. Tuck you in and caress your head� We love you so�.. My son. |
