Whatever it is
that you have in you
its as magical as pulling a rabbit
out of  a hat and have the audience gasping.

That's what is special about you
you are able to squeeze comfortably
in and out of small situations
with the ease of baton waving
and you are able to swirl through rings of fire
swing on the trapeze of problems
and settle like a feather on the funniest
laughter of the day.

You are magical
no doubt, otherwise how could you
stay up so late at night
wide awake at the cooking range
making delicious food
for late evening guests.

I am happy to be a side show
as you go around  doing
what you do best
just being a mother
and always threatening
to pack me into the dogs kennel
if I ever go astray.

That's what I like about your tricks
they have won awards from everyone.
But I get to take the magician to bed
with my own type of magic!
