Sorry Mother

Mother doesn't always know best....
Her advice,,,,,old as the hills..

"Look before you leap"
I lept.
Landing in the arms of a god.......

"Once bitten, twice shy"
I offered my neck to the teeth,
finding kisses, not fangs.........

"They are all alike"
I trusted.
My heart and soul are held safe....

"The grass is always greener..."
I scaled the fence.
The fields of his love stretch on forever,
rich, soft, lush...........

I'm sure the hills are wise, and your words
are out of love.....
But, once in a lifetime, the one to prove it all wrong comes along...

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike
