Still His Mother
I am still his mother
My word should matter beyond all other.
If I say no
Then nothing else shall go.
When I tell him yes
Please do not second guess.
I know he is almost eighteen
And pretty soon it won't matter what I mean.
Right now he still lives at home
Soon he will be on his own.
When the time comes for him to go
I will let him, this I know.
At this time he is my only child with me,
My requests, I think, are not that unreasonable, gee.
Once he is on his own away from me,
I promise, I will let him be.
What else is there to say, other
Than that I am still his mother.
