(A Follow-Up to "I Am The Someone")
And he’s one
And he’s sweet
And he’s fun
Except when I was shopping today
for a new lamp (since he knocked over the old one last week) and he screamed in
the cart for pretzels & books & Cheerios & a drink and he threw his
cup on the hard floor so there was a big puddle and while he cried “Uh-Oh!”
over and over I had to stand there and say, “Watch out; my son spilled his
water” until an employee came and set an orange cone there and mopped it
up. And I looked at that yelling creature
in the cart and thought, “Is that my son?”
Later, in the car, I looked in his
eyes – blue, with really long lashes.
Yep. It was the same boy who was
cute just an hour ago. And I thought…
Hey, It’s okay
That you’re not fun today.
Sometimes I’m that way.
You’re my son.
