Almost Two Poem by Charles Tiffin Clegg

Hey, wha bout me
me gonna B2
I kan waak and talk
nt onlee grb my spoon
(everything I feel is translated below)


Hey, what about me
I am gonna be two
I can walk and talk
not only grab my spoon
I can climb straight up
then jump real far
my mom comes running
about a broken neck she says
'No jumping' what she says
OK I'll stop but
only for right now
I'm glad she comes running
I can't stand it when she's gone
I was pretty happy only weeks ago
Now I scream and cry for her
While daddy is OK
these others taking care of me
just remind me she's away
I won't accept them ever
' I want mommy ' I only scream
Sometimes others try to touch
or even pick me up
I think they're horrible
when mommy is away
Ten minutes seems like hours
The clock it gets stuck in time
when my mommie goes away
I can't tell time but
I learned about forever
it happens now and then
every time mommie goes away
Then suddenly she runs to me
picks me up all kissing
then she holds me close
touching a real long time
hugging, hiding in her arms
i soon begin to smile
Mommies home and
sticking right to me
The world has become wonderful
Now I want to play
put me down and right now
I will play then run
but running just one way
I run toward my mommie
so she'll never go away
It used to be much easier
not now, no not today
mommy has to be right there
it's right, the only way
I don't know what 'future' is
but 'now' is two things
I'm either whole and complete
or crying screaming horror
when mommy goes away
I only have one mommy
and she is everything
the only love I ever need
she means everything
the whole world for me
She keeps me living, happy
the very source of life
My mommy will stay forever
Never go away again
So I can happily go play
because she'll never go away
