Happy Chaos (eudaemonia)

Poetry - Light

Safety is paramount 
when
three munchkins you have in your 
den 

because there's not much they won't
 do
or much they won't find their way 
into.

There's furniture upon which to 
climb,
day-old behind-the-couch milk to 
imbibe,

sharp corners on tables and 
molding,
folded clothes that must need 
unfolding,

door jambs that invite little 
fingers,
in my memory, that pain still 
lingers,

crayons that color better sans 
label 
paper wads are choking hazard 
capable, 

dresser drawers left 
open,
place to bump little 
noggin,

matchbox cars with amazing 
detail,
step on them, though, gravity will 
prevail.

Remain vigilant but not 
overbearing
Try to be fun but watchful and 
caring.
