Never Again

I’ve just come from a battlefield, Such chaos confronted my eyes. I was warned not to go but wouldn’t listen. How could I such a scene realise? My body’s still reeling from the shock. My head tortured by mental pain. Such a bloody awful mess, I’ll NEVER go in my son’s bedroom AGAIN!!! He was a very untidy teenager but I’m proud to say he turned into a wonderful young man who helps his wife to keep their own home neat and tidy.Their teenage son however.... Ah karma lol.

Yes, of course!! :) Now his son is acting like he did. Your thoughts bring a smile. I am happy that he is keeping things tidy. Perhaps his son will, when he is older too. I know you are proud of him. Hugs, Brandy

Hi June, I liked that poem. I think any mother who reads it can relate to it. And heaven help you if you try to tidy it up! xoxo Jennifer
