Boo-boo the Bruise

Oh no what now?!

You slipped, fell down!

And hurt your little knee

These were the words

Boo boo the bruise

Would always say to me

I’m not sure I answered back

Falling is the worst!

The big kids all just point and laugh

So I’ll act like it don’t hurt

Boo boo sat with me a while

He knew I was in pain

And underneath his purple smile

I knew he felt the same

Boo boo always seems to show up

After all my falls and slips

And quietly he fades away

Beneath Mommy’s kissing lips
