Everyone always says that no one reads poetry anymore. Well, that’s just not true. Maybe I’m biased because I’m a poet, but with social media making everything easy to share, poetry is making a huge comeback. This is why Maggie Smith‘s poem “Good Bones” has quickly become viral since its publication only a few days ago.
The poem addresses what moms, and all parents, have to do everyday: They comfort and love their kids. And sometimes, that means you have to lie to your kids about the harsh realities of life. But, I don’t want to ruin the poem too much, so read it for yourself below:
