Poems

I was cleaning out my files on my computer and found some of my favorite little poems. I hope you enjoy them.

Mommy Brain
By Carlotta Stankiewicz

If you've left the crayons to melt in the car, and forgotten just where the car keys are, there's a perfectly good way to explain: You see, you've come down with "Mommy Brain."

When you're not sure where the past 8 hours went, Or whether the phone bill check's been sent, If you've left the laundry drying in the rain, It's just---you guessed it---Mommy Brain.

If you find yourself chatting for hours on end about diaper prices with your cyber friends, you've just caught a particularly virulent strain of that affliction known as Mommy Brain.

If you left your bags at the grocery store Or completely forgot what you went there for, If you called the cat by your baby's name, You can bet that Mommy Brain's to blame.

And if you know the words to "Goodnight Moon" by heart, Or you study your sleeping babe like a work of art, If you're always surprised by how time is flying, And the thought of that first birthday starts you crying... It's unavoidable girls, and I feel your pain, For I, too, suffer from Mommy Brain. But I'll admit one thing---of this, I'm sure: I hope they never find a cure.

Walk a Little Slower Daddy!
Authour Unknown

"Walk a little slower daddy," said a child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy, for you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.
