Kids Can Be So Funny, a Memoir
Kids can be so very funny
Especially when we see them laughing and sunny.
I remember wiping my son's nose so runny
After he had been going like the 'Energizer Bunny'.
Parents are proud when kids first learn their shoes to tie
Or learn to ride a bike on their first try.
Sometimes my son would make me cry
When he wanted to play 20 questions of "Why"?
Their faces are filled with a happy joy
When they receive a brand new toy.
Sometimes I used that age old ploy
Of saying, "Don't cry now, you're a big boy".
It is hard for me to try to write
A few words about trying to fly a kite.
I guess you would call it my solo plight
To relate how I recall the beauty of flight.
Kids jog our memory of the things they've done
Like blowing out a candle when they were one.
We can never go back to those days of fun
But our 'Kids will always be Kids', be they 6, or 30, or 61.
