Mom Knows Best
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
ice-cream 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--“T
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!
What does the title mean?
The title means that a
mother always knows
what is best for a child,
even though the child
may disagree with the
mother.
