THEY SAY

They say your arms

Are a thousand hugs

Your words, a million nags

That when lost, you’ll always search


For they say,

Though your words are nagging,

More of it is for guidance,

That a teenager’s way isn’t zigzag,

But a path, so straight

For her to not go astray


They say your smile

sweetens any bile,

a comfort,

telling everything’s alright


They say

You are never seen down

For you always have to act bright

Never showed a day’s blue

For how could you?

the little lieblings look upon you.


I say, they say

For how can I,

Tell of a woman-

A mother,

In my teen years

I have no longer.
