Where Did the Time Go
Where did the time Go?
“Mom I think my finger’s falling off”
Not to worry I’ll be there in a second.
“Mom I think the roof caved in”
Get under the bed for now, I’m on the phone.
“Mom, Sister’s on the roof”
Sooooo?
“Mom, the house behind us is on fire”
Bring them a bucket; I’m drying my hair.
“Mom, there’s a black spider on my wall”
He’ll keep; I’m watching Days of Our Lives.
“Mom, the paper boy’s collecting”
I don’t have $2. I’ll be at the bank.
“Mom, there’s a policeman at the door”
Get Daddy. Now.
“Mom, I’m married with kids”
Where was I?
For Colette from Mama
Mother’s Day 2013
