a whinny boy awoke
i wondered, "could it be a joke?"
boys were dressed and going
i felt my mind slowing
cereal sloshed
i begged, "could i get washed?"
"happy birthday, mama!"
i may, i wanna
eyes wide, mad and sad
i sighed, "please let me have..."
talking across the sea
"i am happy."
sometimes they're so unpleasant
i opened my first present
the boys play, smile and cry
i voice, "why?"
children bring insight, joy too
i delight, no longer thirty two
