She's everything a mom could want,
everything and more.
She's sunshine on the darkest day,
she's mine to adore.

She has gentle ways about her,
but "tuff" she can be too!
She makes me laugh and smile,
she wipes away my blues.

She tries to hard to be grown up,
and keep up with the others.
When she's sleepy,
she goes and finds her mother. (me  )

She says rock me please,
"Butterfly Kisses" too!
So in my arms I take her,
and rock her to the tune.

Before the rocking takes affect,
she jumps up from my lap.
She rushes to the potty,
pulls down her "jammie flap"

In my chair I await,
her sweet return to me.
When through the house a small voice

shrieks!!


WIPE MY BUTT, PLEASE!

This is hilarious and so typical.  I have one at my house, too, and he leads me on a merry chase!

This is so adorable!  Loved the ending!!

 It matters not how strait the gate;
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

LOL! It started out serene, and then ended in reality.   Loved this.

 Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau"

Lauren is the caboose in our family, she has 6 older siblings on earth. She tries her best to keep up with them(mom is tuckered out!)and she is so independent! She makes my life very much an adventure!
Thank you for the comments.

Lori

Terrific poem - the reality of those last lines failed to dim the wonderful view of a mother and her daughter, snuggling together and sharing moments that last a lifetime, and are then passed on to the next little one.  I could feel  in every line the love you have for your little urchin.
