Ode to My Mother
April 21, 2020
Crabs red and pinchy
Like my mom’s temper after work
It rains outside
The traffic is heavy
Pinch pinch pinch
The keyboard makes noises
The smell of fear
When will she be home?
Running a lot
To meeting after meeting
As tears fill my eyes
Where is my mom?
She’s working, they say
All hope is gone
But when she returns
All the rain goes away
For my mother is here
Everything will be
OK!
