But...Mom!

I have two sons going through the hormonal change of puberty in unison...I hope I survive (LOL) or shall I hope they survive...(heheehe)

No matter how much patience I think I may have
my puberty bound urchins push me to the edge
why only today I jumped from a one foot ledge

They lovingly know when Mom is stressed to the max...
and to think our intelligent governor wants to hike up our tax...


When the phone rings they become silly rugrats
demented, demanding they raid cupboards bare
why only today I contemplated tearing my hair


Suddenly, without warning the emotional tide seems to change..
they become gentle,considerate even loving human beings...


Some people do wonder why parents often weep, changes we go through makes it very hard to keep...our sanity intact or our minds at peace.


 


Dedicated to all the hard working, dedicated parents of today!

My father used to say, "Teen is not an age, it's a disease." We all survived those "interesting" times, however. BTW, your poem is great, Z.
