Mom

Shag haircuts and music Memaw teaching me how to make a bed Marilyn, sharin a cookie and a secret and books so eagerly read Sittin in trees, a hot breeze pickin the scabs off my skinned knees Skulkin and wantin to know what said around the kitchen table "whats goin on?!!" hearin pieces but not quite able playin in the woods had my first kiss now I'm sneakin out the window caught, grounded for life sneakin but not not able to fool my mom Mom was always knowin what I was up to was always saving me was always talking to me like I had sense was always loving me
