A CHILD'S DILEMMA

UNDERSTANDING MAMA AND PAPA                     

          

A CHILD'S DILEMMA 

Being very small ,I am at a great loss ,

Understanding my  mama and papa 

Is like trying to please a demanding boss,

This dear friends is my amazing saga.

I am a small little girl only six years old,

When I want to do things I like on my own,

They say you are too small ,I often get a scold,

Advising me not  to venture in such things alone .

When they want me to do things I shun,

They state now you are grown up enough ,

This  type of behavior  is just not done,

They  reprimand me  and start acting tough.

When I am home and spend time watching cartoons,

They  grumble that I should spend more time outdoors,

When I am  playing outdoors in the afternoons,

They scold for neglecting studies and bringing bad scores.

My hand  writing needs to improve they said ,

I practiced  writing daily  till they said okay,

And now its my bad spellings  they dread,

Maths needs more  practice ,is what they said today.

I just overheard their heated  discussion,

On  blaming each other as to who spoils me,

Realizing this could have serious repercussions ,

I  hugged and kissed them before they could disagree .

I know what they want from me  is for my good ,

Their concern for me ,is what needs to be understood .

God please guide me to be well behaved and worthy,

And  never give any body a chance to say I am not earthy.
