Not for Naught plus Emily Rabbit Pushes Her Way In

.

What can I tell you?

What shall I say

When the universe stumbles

and shards come your way?


Mother, you promised

.

safe passage if I

believed in myself

.

and was willing to try.


I've followed your guide

And of course you were wise

but Mother you didn't

mention dark skies.


For years I've believed

I had fate in my hands

For decades I've traveled

To wonderous lands


I married, delivered

I left when I knew

There was no more to say

No more to do

.
.

I believed in the goodness

of a universe kind

Mother I trusted

what you had in mind


Did you know there are reasons

sometimes in the end

When even devotion

Can't sew up the mends?


Did you know but not mention

because you thought best

that I learn for myself

this and the rest?


I love deeply, dear Mother

You taught me that too

I try not to falter

and I try to be true


But did you know that the winds

can turn quite unkind?

Mother, did you wonder

if I'd misallign?


Hopeful with dreams?

Yes, that's what you taught

Love? Yes, Mother

YES not for naught

Poem 3 of 3o
by Emily V.V. Rabbit
.
Mother it's me, sitting here at the desk
Counting my jellies for whatever comes next.
.
It's me, little Emily, writing a rhyme
Complaining and whining and having a good time
.
People get so serious, I have to nag them to play
once I pushed kj down a hill and in the leaves she did lay
.
ha ha ha ha ha ha hee hee hee hee hee
If you want to have fun just follow me!
