Parent Poetry: I Wish To Cling

Teenage boys rooms

I Wish To Cling

Be quiet – motionless

Approaching time

I wish to suppress

These bubbling feelings

self-contained protests.

He’s mine

From me conceived

I wish to whine

This fare-haired child

but I resign.

Can it be true?

Unstoppable fate

I wish to cling to

My little one

bidding childhood adieu.

Bring back age four

His trucks and tears

I wish for more

Time spent rocking on my hip

pointing at the door.

Be quiet – motionless

Teenage years approaching

I wish to express

These bubbling feelings

future teenage parent stress.

Until next time-

C
