Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 636

The baby finally slept all night-

Everything in the house, felt so right.

.

At first, iit was not that way-

The feedings went on all night and day.

.

And, then suddenly, the feedings began

to stretch, hour by hour-

That extra sleep, began to flower.

.

It was meant to be that way unitl

a pattern was set-

Yes, very tired, parents do get.

.

But, to make it through, they always do-

When nightime patterns finally acrue.

.

The baby finally slept all night-

Everything in the house, felt so right.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose (Valentines Are Forever)

We always made valentines for our parents at school-

As it was always part of the golden rule.

.

They ended up on the fridge, always of course-

With the other stuff, we made magnetized in full force.

.

And then there came the time, up and over the bend-

We gave a special valentine to a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

.

Marriage came later, and we always took the route-

Candy, flowers, valentines, and dinner out.

.

The years went by and the children came-

They made valentines too, and we hung them up

all the same.

.

Still taking care of the spouse, with a big I love you-

Forever we meant, and more of this tradition did accrue.

.

Sadly came the day, when the two became one-

Not through default, but death simply cannot become undone.

.

The feelings are still there, and yes it is hard-

As the flowers are brought to the graveyard.

.

Love continues with one left behind-

Still remembering, still thinking, with all of ones’ heart,

to give that valentine.

.

We always made valentines for our parents at school-

As it was always part of the golden rule.
