Moley Go Lightly
I have something here that was given to me
There is none other in the world like it to see.
It is small and dark and sort of brown
I take it wherever I go...even out of town.
When did I get it you probably ask
I sometimes wonder that too, especially if in the sun I bask.
Because that is when it is plain to see
The brown spot there just above my tummy.
I think it was smaller when I was a child,
But even then, it made me feel kind of wild.
You have one too or maybe even more
They're called birthmarks and are not usually sore.
I have often wondered why mine is there
Always with me whenever I go anywhere.
I like to think of it as a reminder you see
Of the love that my parents had for me.
Because it was their love that brought me to life
When they were a young couple as husband and wife.
I have been lucky in my life as well
Because this mark is one to contemplate and compel.
It has its own shape and size and so
But has changed o'er the years, without me wanting it to.
I have rubbed it with soap and even scratched it you see
Whatever I do, I can't get it off my body.
So I just play with it now as if it were a toy
Like the days when I was just a young little boy.
I am lucky to have it...it's made me whole
You already know, I speaking of my mole.
