The Motherly Poetry

I have a voice now and my own thoughts too.

That's why sometimes I get loud

About things I want to do.

​

I have so much more independence now

Mommy, look At me!

But I will still take you up on that kiss

For my scratched knee.

​

I can fall asleep by myself now,

I just need you to tuck me in.

But I also may still call for you when it

Looks like monsters are coming from the bin.

​

I love reaching my arms around you

And squeezing you tight.

Although sometimes I can get so angry and

Feel the urge to fight.

​

I can feed myself so, we can eat

At the same time now.

But I can't promise that some of the food

Won't end up on the ground.

​

I run around the park making new friends,

Aren't you so proud of me? 

You will catch me looking over my shoulder

To make sure you see. 

​

I can sing you the alphabet 

And lovely nursey rhymes.

I will always make you sing along, 

Even if it feels like 100 times.

​

My emotions sometimes become

Bigger than I can handle.

I don't mean to make you run out of stores,

While feeling in shambles.

​

You see I am still learning everything 

About my world and how much there is to see.

When you think about it I aim still quite small,

But I can quickly tell you,

"Not as small as a bee".

​

I am three now even though,

I know you'll always picture my face,

As the one of the night we met.
