• 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. Mom took good care of me

and I grew well and happily.

• 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 — “I should not be told what to do!• I’m seventeen now!

As I grew up, I had my own opinions and didn’t listen

to her.

• 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.

• Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!

I realized I did wrong because I didn’t listen to Mom. As an

adult, I know Mom was right.
