Learning to Comb
Your Hair
Do you remember
learning how to comb your hair?
Your mother had you look into the mirror
(What a handsome
young man!)
And watch as she made magic with a comb
First, she chased all your hair forward and down
Until your eyebrows laughed for the fun of it
And then she chose an imaginary line
And parted the strands for the rest of the day
Hooray!
Do you remember learning how to comb your hair?
(Now in your mother’s memory send up a prayer)
