College Goodbyes
She hustles and
bustles around the small space,
Labeling storage
containers, and loading the fridge
Chattering all
the way with other moms
With the space
complete she checks everything again.
She carefully
wastes some time,
Insisting that
there is more room for hangers in the closet,
Or possibly some
space under the bed.
With no more
things to fix,
She looks around
and looks up giving her weird mother smile
Realizing that it
is time for her to go,
She begins her
speech--
Make sure to
take it all in,
Get involved,
And always make
your bed before you leave your dorm,
It will actually
help you sleep if you know your bed has been freshly made.
Don’t leave
clothes on the ground, and DO NOT,
Wash your reds
with your whites.
As she ends with
a more tips,
She begins again with her
not so stern voice,
And you have to
call me…tonight!
