Uttered Prayers

Underfoot.
Ignoring orders.
Mocking.
Frustrating mommy.

 

Defiant.
Laughing uncontrollable.
Pushing.
Mommy’s temper.

 

Relentless.
Pressing buttons.
Rebelling.
Mommy’s tongue.

 

Screaming.
Beginning cycle.
Shoving.
Mommy’s praying.

 

Dissipating.
Silence surfacing.
Calming.
Mommy’s faith.

 

Hugging.
Exchanging kisses.
Loving.
Mommy’s saved.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To God who helps me with Conner not only when he’s happy and behaving, but also when he’s pushing my buttons and I feel like combusting. Gives me the strength, courage, and knowledge to persevere and continue to parent.
