Trust me, I'm a Mom

[pomes]

Talk to me and laugh at me and bop me on the nose
Tangle up my ponytail, put dinner on my toes
Ask for answers, nag for treats, summon me for dancing -
It won't last long, this trusting phase, and it is so entrancing.

Give me kisses full of cake, and hugs all full of paint
Climb my legs and tell me all about the teddy's train
Knock me down and roll on me, my ribs you can hear breaking -
It won't last long, this trusting phase, and to think this has me aching.

Call me loud and wait assured of my sure and prompt arrival
Launch yourself from high to hard, knowing I'll ensure survival
Tell me what you've done today and what you're going to do -
It won't last long, this trusting phase, when I know all of you.

That's lovely.

I'm going through the "NOT trusting" phase right now. Not trusting me to return when I venture out of sight. Boy do I hope it ends soon. All I can do is make sure he can trust me.
