He is my light, he is my dark
He is my happiness and he is my sadness
He is my begining, he is my end
He is my life and he is my death
My mate is many things but mainly he is mine
He is not the cashiers at the class six
He is not the mechanics at the hobby shop
He is no ones but mine
He is my pet but also my owner
He is my reason for living but could kill me with a word
He is the father of my litter and the final law
He is my love and all mine
Don't let me catch you lookin
Don't let your eyes stay to long on him
Guy or girl I will fight you
You cannot have him
He is my life and he is my death
He is my love and he is my hate
He is the light in my life and the dark
He is my mate and he is MINE
What follows is not really a poem but a list of things that pups (kids) do well that absolutely drive us nuts.
Find things to flush down toilets
Help put away clothes somehow causing the newly clean clothes to be spread ALL over the house
Help pick out clothes somehow pulling down/out all clothes that you just put up
Squeal/scream
Fight with each other
Turn down a prepared meal then for the next two hours repeatedly say they are hungry
Repeatedly call for mommy/daddy and when you finally ask what they say hi
Repeat EVERYTHING you say
Repeat EVERYTHING they say
Scream for the food you have on your plate when they have the same on theirs
Tell you "no" when you tell them to use the potty
Tell you they have to go potty when you tell them to get in time out for telling you "no" when you told them to go to the potty
Decide the new toy kitchen would make a good climbing tree
Decide the new toy work bench would make a good ramp to climb on top of the new kitchen they want to climb on
Wake up early from nap when you JUST fell asleep five mins ago
Wake up screaming at 3 o clock in the morning for no apparent reason and won't stop effectively waking up their brother/sister and the baby you JUST got down
Kick away the step stool for fun while on the potty then scream bloody murder when they realize they can no longer get down from the potty
Rip up your brand new book
Decide that since you are busy in the bathroom they will put the dvd they want to watch in themselves but disagree on which dvd to watch so cram all 5 they REALLY like into the dvd player effectively destroying 2 and scratching up the rest.
Decide to play with Daddy's collection of old rock cds and scratch up a fair few of them so they don't play anymore
Repeat that they are hungry over and over and over and over again as they stand right behind you as you cook dinner.
That is all I can think of right now but I just thought it funny all the things they do to make them feel better and cause us parents to want (and often times do) scream bloody murder. Hope you enjoyed. I will probably make another list later when I think of others.
Just so everyone is aware I write my poetry in an odd way. I cannot write on command and it come out half as well as most of my other work. When I do write it just pops into my head and I get it all down on paper in one sitting. The long 6 page works and the short 2 stanza ones. The poetry in here will be unedited straight writing so dont be surprised if there are misspelled words or something.
Hope you enjoy.
One person can make or break your day
One word can be like millions of knifes in your back
One look, One comment
Just one thing can cause so much pain
Why do we do it?
Why do constantly set ourseves up for pain
Day after day we go out
Interacting with strangers and well known friends.
Every time we interact we set ourselves up
Everytime we get hurt and say it wont happen again it does
It's none stop.
Why
Because when we do give up that is when it all ends.
Any hope of happiness
Any hope of love
Anything you could have learned ceases to exist.
In order to have happiness you must have the pain
The pain teaches you the brilliance of the joy.
Makes the wonder of love and learning better.
A single word can hurt more than anything but when you do finally find your joy... it is all worth it.
