In My Mother's Shoes…

I am my mother, Linda

I wonder what Matthew and Kelly are doing in the playroom

I hear them screaming random words

I see them pretend fighting by kicking and punching

I want them to stop it because someone can get hurt

I am worried.

I pretend I am in bed sleeping

I feel the cool kitchen counter

I touch the dishes and cups

I understand they are only children

I say, ¨They are just little children playing a game and having fun¨

I dream of my children having a good life.
