A Lovely Life (Book of Poetry)

4. Two old women

I know we have many disagreements

and we argue about the silliest things.

I know you may think I don't care, then

we talk it out, disagree and talk about it again.

It's so hard for us to communicate when

we are making witty remarks to each other.

I have never once disrespected you, nor have you heard me curse

but I'm a grown woman. You have to let me go and

be an adult. I have lived on my own over twenty years.

Even thou I am an adult, I know I must respect my

parents. Could we agree not to agree and

just love each other. For the record, I will

be fifty in a few years, so it's okay to

to respect my decisions. All I need

from you, is motherly love.
