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?
