Post-reading:
When I was a tiny baby crying all night,
my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
When I was tired and hungry,
she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
When I was two running through the field,
she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.
When I fell and hurt myself,
she gave me a hug and lifted me up.
When I was seven coughing badly,
she said no for me.
But I talked back loudly,"I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!"
When I was nine watching scary movies,
she said it'd give me awful dreams.
But I shouted back angrily,"I should be allowed to watch it! I'm not a baby!"
When I was a teen going out with friends,
she said,"Please be back by ten!"
But I talked back again---"I should not be told what to do! I'm seventeen now!"
Now, I'm an adult, thinking back to those times.
I coughed for days after eating that ice--cream.
And had scary dreams after watching that film.
I was late for school from staying out past ten.
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom.
Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best.
