MOTHER MAY I
Woodburn, Oregon
There are all too many steps I have taken,
only to fall back hard to the past.
And .....
though some may say
I've not taken enough,
not taken enough
of those giant first steps,
I say I've taken far too many already,
(the bigger the step,
the harder the fall)
and,
it's depressing to know
there's yet another
giant step to come!
And the children sing their songs
of London Bridge Is Falling Down .....
And the children play their games
of Red Light Green Light,
Red Rover Red Rover,
and last, but not least,
Mother May I ..... Please,
take one little step .....
"Yes, you may,
take one little step,
but, then .....
take two GIANT steps
back to the rear!"
Back to the rear,
hard back to the past,
trapped in a flashback,
where their are tears
in the looking glass.
Mother May I ..... be loved?
