You wake up wailing, wanting out of the room
Made me carry you downstairs, then asked for a spoon
You held it tightly, then pointed to the door
'Liplap lights!' you demanded, and a dozen silliness more
You won't calm down, you won't shut up
You're not sick and you don't want a rub
Thrashing, whining, my patience stretched thin
I'm sorry I snapped and became so mean
I know it's difficult being almost two
Night terrors, night wakings, it's not really you
It could be bad dreams about things that you fear
So baby, don't worry, momma's here
I'll try, next time, to be more understanding
There'll be more episodes of two wills colliding
Thus whenever you show fractious toddler behavior
I hope to respond with tolerance and gentle humor
I'll pledge to embrace your every age and phases
Forget terrible twos, coz you never cease to amaze us
With your curious mind and cheery disposition
Your quirks, your babbles and funny song renditions
And everyone's smitten by your sweet manners
Saying thank yous and sorrys, respecting your elders
Grateful that I'm blessed with a precocious child
So when you're acting your age, I'll sigh - and SMILE!
