i had forgotten
the rage and anguish
of a two year old boy
who is just too tired
and overwhelmed
i had forgotten
the frustation and angst
of the mother of a two year
whose answer to every question
in a howling NOooooo
both almost in tears
i so wanted to help
but remembered
outside influence
at this juncture
is often more
of a hinderence
but still i smiled
and leant over
and whispered
in her ear...
it does get better
and yes you are
doing a great job
sometimes it helps
to be told you are
even if it feels
like you ain't
