Naughty Girl, Me

There was a naughty girl
And a naughty girl was she
For nothing she would do
But sit all alone and worry
She hadn’t
Any money
She definitely
Wasn’t funny
She was
Just a mother
And a wife 
Like no other
Never very strong
Too often 
She’d be wrong
In her 
Darkest hour
She’d somehow 
Find the power
Sit back 
And find a smile
Just laugh 
For a little while
Responsibilities 
Each day
Cause her 
So much strife
She must find a way
To achieve 
Something 
In this life
Oh wait,
She already had
This naughty girl 
Was bad
She almost forgot
All the 
Special things 
She’s got
Two sons
Two daughters
A dog
A fish
And a mouse
All of them living 
With
Two tarantulas 
A snake
And her spouse
See 
There was a naughty girl
Turned out the best she could be
She grew up to be a woman
With a wonderful family

Lolita, Thanks for your comments on my writing. I appreciate it. This poem of yours was absolutely stunning! Not at all what I expected, so I guess it was much like life itself, quite surprising! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Keep up the great work! Walker

Lolita this is so special a poem. From the words"Special things" on down is such a touching, heart warming giving of praise for the things in life that really are the reason we are living. For the quote, " the naughty girl turned out the best she could" Is really all that love requires of any of us. Smile, Love Moses
