First Born

Joyous occasion was his birth as he was the first to give me the title of "Mom"
Obstinate in his teenage years he has become
Sarcasm is his wit
Each day brings something new
Phemonally smart is his gift
Hates to ever admit he is wrong

Really loves his video games
Oblivious to the workings of common courtesy no matter how hard I try otherwise
Baby he may no longer be but he is my baby just the same
Ever ready to be out of school
Really knows how to push my buttons
Takes too much for granted but he is still very special to me just the same

Congratulations - just keep telling yourself: their brains are not mature until they are 25. It easier to deal with then!

Great qualities and sounds like a typical teenager. Motherhood sets the tone to this superb write. I agree with Aleera, you have talent and you are demonstrating that you have tapped into it. I hope you keep writing and delve into poetry with a passion. I can only hope you will, good luck and God bless you and your family...Raul
