When You Have Children

When you have children, your life sure will change, You become different, and act rather strange. It could be hormones, because they do peak, Most of us become, that controlling freak. “Please do not touch that, it just might be hot”, Sometimes you’d catch them, and other times not. They’ll crawl and then walk, and boy can they run, “Don’t twirl around, though I know it’s fun”. It’s so amazing, to just watch them grow, They think we’re stupid, and they let us know. While looking at you, the stove top they touch Screaming and crying, “Oh it hurts so much!” “I told you it would, you chose not to hear,” “Don’t touch it again, or me you will fear.” They know how to push, each button at that, For when that happens, in a chair they sat. Age two and age three, aren’t really that bad, But when they are gone, you aren’t really sad. And when they turn five, your patience they test, You need a time-out, you know it is best. They want things their way, or else they would pout, “I gave birth to you, but I’ll take you out!” You never did think, those words you would say, Your mom had warned you, you’d get yours someday.
