A Poem

I wrote this poem for my Intro To Creative Writing Class and it just makes me smile so I thought I would share it because I am pretty sure a lot of moms can relate.

At first it is just a faint noise far off into the distance

of my current dream

It brings me somewhat back to reality

I am trapped between two worlds

the dream world and the real world

I continue to dream but find myself on edge

in my current state

Listening intently on what is going on around me

in the real world

But still continuously playing the dream with in my head

There...there it is

It is exactly what I was listening for

DUCK!

Duck, the first word of the day

The first of many that my 17 month old son will utter today

And I am awakened

Time to start a new day

It time to be mom

or mommy

or mama

or "WHAAAAAAAA"

Depending on what mood he wakes up in today.

But I think today will be a good day

How can I tell you ask?

Because DUCK means a good day

and when given the choice of

duck or "WHAAAAAA"

I will take duck any day.
