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 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'a give me awful dreams. But I shouted back angrily, " I should be allowed to watch it! Im not a baby!" When-l was a teen going out with friends, she said,"Please be back ten E But I talked back again-"I should not be told what to do! Im 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 lal for school from staying out past ten. I laking hack, not listening to Mom Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!
