Alien Or Mom

What is going on?
My mom has the answers to all our childhood
Plights.
I want to know
Just how
You see through walls?
When did your hearing get so keen?
Where do I look to find the extra set of eyes that
Are suppose to be in the back of your head?
There's nothing abnormal about her in any of
The books I've read.
Yet, there seems to be a gap
An energy that has been tapped
If you know what I mean.
To me my mom is special with these extra 
Powers. I think even with out them my mom 
Would still be in on it all.
One thing is perfectly clear my mom has plenty
Of in sight.
I do hope this information gets passed on
Before she is gone.
I ask the question is she alien or mom?

I completely relate to this poem. I had a super mom too. She never missed a beat. I read your comment to Andrea and having had so many children you are a super mom too! Very impressive! I have only had four children. A delightful poem Bette. : )

Thank you Connie. I am glad you liked it. I had a wonderful mom. She has alhemizers and it has been really hard to take care of her. I get a glimpse once in a great while of the person she used to be. Having four children in this day and time is a lot too. Children no matter how many you have take a lot of love, work and sacrifice. I am glad I am getting to know you. I hope you are getting to know a little about me. Thank you again for the visit.

Bette. are you very young? Your remarks at my poems are very mature but this sounds like a teenager who admires her mother! It's very cute and I like it a lot.

No. Thank you. You are a sweetie. I am a 64 year old mother of eleven children, a grandmother, and a great grandmother who writes in various ways. I am glad this shows a teenager who admires her mom. To me being a poet means I Write what I feel or see in different ways. I am glad you liked it. Thank you so much for the visit. I hope you have a wonderful evening.
