Turning Three

Today is the Birthday of a darling child. I had hoped to be able to say a special hello to her today but I called her mom at the wrong number. I didn’t write this poem for her to read but rather for her mom. I don’t expect that a 3yrs old will understand this but I hope that her mother will

Her mother just confirmed on the phone from her reaction to it that it was well received.

 

Turning Three

Then, back when, I turned three

Unable to make it, I wished I would be

Reaching the counter and the pipe sink

Now I have to bend too far over to take a drink

I know you may be hoping one day

Never to have to ask to go out and play

Get up late after you stay in bed

Taking the extra time to rest your head

How you must wish for your fantasy

Reaching out to grab what you may Imani

Every thing you pray for can one day be in your grasp

Each day, start,  with knees bent and hands clasp
