She dresses herself and complains

By jackb

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

She dresses herself and complains Her socks don't match the ones She wants are in the wash but these will do today She kisses me goodbye at school briefer every day i tell Her i'm late and wave absentmindedly She tells me when i pick Her up "look what I made today" i tell Her that it's beautiful but later throw it away She wants to play when we get home i'm pretty busy though i have a lot of work to do and still haven't washed those socks She wants to read a book with me before going to bed i read too fast and think of something i forgot today She sleeps and i remember what it was that slipped my busy mind i forgot to be the father that i had expected to be She wakes me in the morning wanting breakfast something She can put sugar on if you don't mind i don't mind Written February 14th, 2002 © on Feb 14 2002 01:42 PM PST   0 • 10
