Pat Adams Poet Rhyme

A Life Saver the Hard Way

Dressed up in white shirts and ties
Into the church, we quietly walked
Mommy told us to, "Sit down here",
In the next row where she stopped

While I was standing on the pew
A man stopped by for just a while
He said, "Hi Mary, how are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks!", she said with a smile

In my voice like a tsunami
I spoke up as he walked away,
"That man has a big head mommy!"
She shushed me yet again that day

Then she gave me a Life Saver
And told me, "Sit down and be still!"
Although doing that I didn't favor 
Her deep frown made me say, "I will!"

Without the tie I might not smother
But I had to wear it quite a while
I glared down at my little brother
Who just sat there quiet, with a smile
