Things Kids Do

Since becoming a mother I got to know children well, How they sneak around What big stories they can tell. They are so full of energy For they are always on the go, Being much like an angel Until they are told the word no. They are quick to make friends Yell bye while darting out the door, Come back with a friend to stay You sigh thinking sure whats one more. They scream, fuss, cry Say how being grounded's unfair, Forgetting about what they did As the reason to why they are there. Siblings are often tattleing They scream at each other and fight, Your try hard to solve it all They just say you dont have things right. While you finally decide one day No matter what you just can't win, You let them live and learn themselves Knowing with children there is no end.
