January dribbles - 8

Child tries to run. “No,” says Mama. Child stops.
Child tries to climb. “No,” says Mama. Child drops.
Child tries to sing. “No,” says Mama, before
Child tries to cry. “No,” says Mama. Closed door.
Child tries and Mama cries. Wait. In the end
Mama’s bending to child’s trying love.
