I miss my Mom.
I know child. She’s busy with her work.
I want some milk.
I know child. Here’s milk, cheddar crackers, and fish sticks.
I want to go outside.
I know child. The fair, the ice cream, the duck pond, the lakeside.
I want to color.
I know child. Crayons, paper, too much tape.
I want my toy.
I know child. Stuffed animals, blocks, and fancy shoes.
I miss my Mom.
I know child. I miss mine too.
Sharon — I absolutely love this poem. It reminds me to go home as soon as I can and spend time with C while I can. Thank you.
