Will the real Lilani step forward?

She had us fooled my friends.
With her sweet smile, her calm, and quiet ways.
She took her time, reeling us in with her baby ways.

Then all Hell broke loose.

Then the real Lilani stepped forward.

Baby got spunk my friends.
And baby got lungs.
And baby knows perserverance.
Baby can cry and fuss on for hours at a time.

And then baby smiles.
Baby burps.
And then baby sleeps.
For hours.

Baby is now the boss.
Mama was the boss.
Mama was fired, and replaced.
By Baby.

Baby was on Baby Whisper schedule.
Baby slept great, nursed at mama’s que.
Mama was happy. Baby was happy.
Now baby has her own hours.

Now Baby is happier…
Baby calls the shots.
Baby is Miss Boss.
Baby doesn’t pay overtime, she just expects it.
Now Mama is tired.

But Baby is cute.
Baby has split personality.
Baby has Mama and Papa wrapped around her little finger.

Mama and Papa don’t mind.
Not too much.
Because after all…
Baby has Mama and Papa fooled.

And she will fool you too.
With that sweet smile.
Those gentle eyes.

Be careful.
Baby got spunk.

    She looks like she heard you read this poem to her and couldn’t keep back a smile. Loved the poem.
