Parental Superpowers: Magic Lips
If my child has a boo boo
From random sibling violence
I draw that child close
And use these Healing Lips of Silence.
If someone thuds or falls or slips,
Or hits their head upon the table,
The problem’s solved with magic lips
Pre-pursed, ready and able
To stop the crying by release of
A parental magic potion.
A blend of spit and parent love
In super hero motion.
A wonderful poem. You captured a great part of parenthood. I’m really impressed.
Thanks. Thanks for your original post which helped inspire the poem.
