Our First Mask Poem by Floy Dy Ra Aka Floyd Floydson

Mothers know it and fathers too
a baby is the best of all
when our dreams come true
so smoothie and fascinating
is all what they do
their big eyes are open so wide
and you can read eyes
what you did right
they love you as much as they can
sleep all the daytime
and at night they break your plan
by watching your habit
and what you did wrong
´cause they still can´t speak
they answer in a song
or have the giggles
or an open mouth
or shouting loud
but if you break the habit
like stopping to breastfeed
they show you
how strong is their need
they start to learn
how to get one´s way
and later they remember
how to use it and play
may be like in this way
they express their will
as long as they can see how it works
to put on the mask of a cry
or that something hurts
very quickly they will find out
what is the difference between
what father or mother allows
so they learn their first trick
to put on a mask
to get what they want
and that very quick.
