Big Momma's Teacher's Pet

I’m lying on my back imagining that twinkling in your eyes
I’m reminded of warm summer night and catching fireflies
County fairs in July with fireworks lighting up the sky
A spice scented kitchen, a cool glass of milk, and a slice of apple pie
 
Long walks along the tracks picking berries and plums
A magician in the kitchen, you created feast out of crumbs
You loved all that you touched, my Aurora, my Goddess Of Dawn
My healer of pain, you lovingly brought the healing on
 
With closed eyes, I’ve lied on my bed supine
With happiness, we’ve walked along the beaches, drifting through my mind
Stopping here and there, you needed to be heard
Idyllic walks through the woods, I clung to your every word
 
There were lessons needing to be taught, things needing to be learned
First it was your chance, but you promised I’ld get my turn
There’s no doubt that we brought each other anger and frustration
But that’s because there’s so much more to true love than having patience
 
Your nights spent in a melancholy state wondering if I was in a hospital
And me breaking curfew and receiving but a tittle, more like an acquittal
It would simply break your heart to handout the punishment that I deserved
Besides I was at home and safe, your heart said justice was served
 
And your heart, oh how could something so big fit into a human body
It’s so hard for you to contain your smile even after I’ve been so naughty
Because these teachings and learning are never done, they’re an eternal set
Here’s to you a poem from the pick and mix set, from Me the Teacher’s Pet  �
