Ode

Day 12

Poem to Someone You Love

Soccor balls, drum sets, porpoise laughs,

Tigers, and trains that are green,

Photos and cameras, susaphones and two Marines

Band camp, girl's camp, high adventure too

back to school and Mom I need new shoes

Papers and books, where is my pen

Pants, shirts, socks laundry never ends

Milk, butter, eggs and bread

Your eating again, I thought we already fed

Do your chores, clean your room

And please make your bed

Feed the dog, feed the cat

No, you can't do that

Get up early in the morning

Hit the floor running

First one up

Last one down

Do it again and again

One eternal round

I love you bigger than a mouse

I love bigger than a van

I love you bigger than a house

I love you to the moon and back

I love you longer than eternity

I would do it over again

Because I got to be your mom.

Indeed.
