Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Soccer Mom

Soccer mom, soccer mom  

Waving “I can do anything” magical wand  

Looking for gold  

Image ever so bold  

Not wanting to fold  

We are told  

Putting the ball in the net  

A winning score you may get  

Soccer mom, soccer mom  

How calm  

Going end to end  

And deciding it’s when  

Meeting the right Ken  

Success confirming you are a ten  

Called upon for a mission to defend  

You stand alongside the men  

In a humanitarian message for all  

Sent using a ball  

Soccer mom, soccer mom  

You have a lot going on  

It is late in the day  

I might say  

Dinner time will come  

Question raised, “are you done?”  

Did they hear  

Through all the loudness and cheer  

Or does one have to shed a tear  

Yes, we must do our best  

Resulting in victory over the rest  

But when things conclude  

And results are true  

For those wearing red, white, and blue  

Take two steps back  

Turn the athletic attack  

Over an out to another  

Wanting to know how to be a wonderful mother  

Since it can be said  

After the special day when two are wed  

Celebrating not mourning the dead  

Peace was your path  

In dealing with wrath  

Playing kick, the can  

Turning on the fan  

Cooling the flame  

Competing in a game  

Soccer mom, soccer mom  

Thank you for your service diffusing the angry military bomb
