“mommy” – mother’s day week of original poetry
***
it’s a favorite thing of mine to at times pretend to be my much younger self 😉 knowing i could never really fully capture that total innocence of connection
but it’s fun, and helped me produce this little piece
*
as my comment below the poem, from 2008 shows, not only many a little one liked it, but lots of older folk too 😉
some things, when the flow flows right, just work out…

Mommy
Mommy,
show me how
to make all kinds of fat
cookies – then let me test them.
Mommy, read me a
story and let me make all
of the noises for all of the animals.
Mommy, then take me to
the park. And let’s stay til it
gets just past dark.
Mommy, take me
to your work
and let me
call all my friends.
Mommy, sing me a song
so I can say the words too. And
Mommy. Promise me we’ll do it
all over again
tomorrow.

what’s nice at times when some time has gone by, as below in 2008, 14 years after i’d written this little poem, is how freed i was, and even now, am, to admire the work, without even feeling it’s me that wrote or created it –
it’s far enough away to have been like a good past life, if such exist, maybe worth remembering a feeling or thought or lesson or strength gained, but generating no real desire to be back there again…
and my thoughts back then in 2008? i’m just as content with them now as then 😉

Artist’s Comment: an adorable little poems from a little one’s point of view
many a daddy or older sibling had us personalize this one for a young one
and many of these older siblings and other parents often expressed they wouldn’t mind sharing these same thoughts of things to do with their own mom
some things we just don’t need to out grow 🙂

namaste – con dios – god be with you
