From Clara on a Bad Morning


I don't really know what's wrong
I just feel the need to cry.
To stretch opne my mouth
and let out a sound
and let the tears drop from my eyes.
It could be my teeth
trying to push their way through,
it could be my ears with their fluid and goo.
It could be some growing pains
coursing through me,
it could be a diaper rash
no one can see.
I don't know what's wrong,
someone hold me tight.
Help me to know that
I'll be alright.
A snuggle, a pat and a kiss on the cheek
might help my tears and stop the leak.
Hold me tight, rub my back
I feel a sob coming on
Whatever you do, please don't put me down!
A kiss and a bear hug
it's about time.
I'm feeling much better
I will be just fine.
Sometimes I don't know
why I feel like I do
But I know all I need
is more snuggling from you.
(and one more thing mom...
stop taking pictures,
enough put it down.
Hold me and hug me,
get me up off the ground!)
