A poem inspired by something my neighbour said (a young mother with two small children)


Poem Artwork

Children laughing,

screaming,

shouting,

frazzled mother

searching,

searching,

searching...

Children screaming,

Children shouting,

Where is it?

Can't find it?

Ah, got it!

Mute button pressed...

Ah, what quiet!

What bliss!

Did someone say

'Silence is golden'?

What a truly marvellous quote...

Thank heavens

for the wonderful child remote!

Oh how adorable this is, sure wish I had one of those remotes when my children were little. At least I had ear plugs...

Be always safe,
Karen
