Flying Lesson by Kimberly Stutevoss


Flying Lesson by Kimberly Stutevoss

Cleaning her room the kids sit on the bed
Before she leaves the room for the vacuum
She says, “stay on the bed, I’ll be right back.”
She turns her back and walks out of the room

Before she leaves the room for the vacuum
The daughter smirks and has an idea
She turns her back and walks out of the room
“Hide under those pillows we will scare mom”

The daughter smirks and has an idea
The son goes under the pillows to hide
“Hide under those pillows we will scare mom”
Below the window sill he hides and waits

The son goes under the pillows to hide
Waiting to yell surprise to his mother
Below the window still he hides and waits
The girl waits on the bed with a big smile

Waiting to yell surprise to his mother
She returns and only sees her daughter
The girl waits on the bed with a big smile
“Where is Franklin?” she asks but no response

She returns and only sees her daughter
The girl pretends not to know where he is
“Where is Franklin?” she asks but no response
Giving in the girl points to the pillows

The girl pretends not to know where he is
Under the pillows the boy is not there
Giving in the girl points to the pillows
The window is open and screen popped out

Under the pillows the boy is not there
He learned to fly but landed on the ground
The window is open and screen popped out
The mom can hear his cries from up above

He learned to fly but landed on the ground
She races down the stairs to get her boy
The mom can hear his cries from up above
She embraces him, not a scratch is there
