Moms Little Man

The little boy waves as he walks on the plane 

As Grandparents, moms and dads give him a smile

His tall slender mom you can tell she enjoys

Her small little man who’ll be hers for a while

He settles in to his big airplane seat

And looks all around at the buttons and lights

The table latch straight ahead catches his eye

He asks “Mom, the table”, “would it be alright”

She gives him her look like most mothers can do

The little man knew that she didn’t approve

So he pressed his back into the tall cushioned seat

And curled his lips out, gave a frown, then said “Shute”

But it wasn’t long till’ he leaned his head out

To give me a smile and a wave once again

His mom shook her head saying “he’s born to act”

As she buckled his seat belt and gave him a grin

Inspiration

Written while flying from the New Orleans to LA, observing the last passengers board the plane, I watched a little 2 year old boy walk down the isle giving a wave to each seated passenger as he walked by them. This all happened in about 30 seconds
