A Parent's Jam
Written by Gail DeBole
in the 1970s
(Pre-parent status)
I'd like to have more patience.
I really think I can.
I tell myself most readily
While looking for the jam.
The jam was in the kitchen,
A few scant seconds ago.
I take a step to the sink,
Squishing jam between my toes.
I'd like to have more patience.
I really think I can.
I'll be in a better mood
When I can buy more jam.
