Happiness is a circumstantial fart
offering a puff of - darting elation
Parenthood is no walk in any park
at times, tall glasses of frustration
Compare the elusive joys scooting
to snapshots with ‘hi goosebumps’
Add tender connection - proving
golden smiles come up ‘trumps’
Often - when children become ill
moods fluctuate - usually downhill
Parents move heaven and earth
to neutralize the snooping hic curse
Common bruises on busy knees
see mom with apt empathy
Naughtiness with innocence shrug
prompting a rewarding hug
However, joys will scatter
to the four corners of Earth
The love of father, mother
stays connected after birth.
Footnote ‘trumps’ proving unexpectedly to be a valuable asset.
Scooting – going by with momentum…
‘Hi goosebumps’ - hair raising moments
