Just ask Google!

Just ask Google!

As the alarm clock shrills,

Need to take my pills.

The washing machine beeps

 While I’m half asleep.

Alexa speaks -

This makes me freak!

Could've thrown the phone -

As alarms for medicine drones;

It's so very loud, 

Shouldn't be allowed!

As deafening as a thunder cloud!

Did I just take my drugs

With the cold tea from the mug?

Or from the water jug?

While I’m upstairs

The phone it blares

To take my tablets -

Just not in the habit!

The printer blips and bloops

Am jumping through hoops!

The front door bell rings,

The microwave pings.

My Ready meals' ready

So quickly already!

Everything is just

So high tech

And makes a din,

I jump out of my skin!

Did I take my meds

Forgot to check

My nerves in shreds;

Asking Google on the PC

Just a futuristic wannabe!

I'm not here forever

I'm not here forever

Please do forgive your mum
That sometimes gets it wrong;
You are the baby in her eyes
She still nurtures
In her womb for nine months long.

On the day you come into the world
It was her job to protect.
Always her baby in her eyes
She loves so dearly
She wants your future to be perfect.

And through the cuts and grazes
Broken bones and broken heart.
Her own heart will hurt as much as yours
And cries your tears
As she has done so from the start.

And through the years of maturity
Sometimes things just went awry,
Now the child grown into adulthood
She adores so much
Her baby does not see her eyes cry.

Without the fear of being morbid
Mums' are not around forever,
Now the adult to the mother
Knows best; but she’ll worry.
Then all they knew will sever.
