Don't Nag, O Hag

Don’t nag, O hag

For I am not a rag

I am a person, who loves you

I am the same heart who cares for you

In the life that moves smoothly

Your words only create a snag.

Don’t nag, O hag

I’m carrying a heavy bag

Don’t push me to walk faster

This is the speed I can muster

I may stumble don’t grumble

I’m moving though I may lag.

Don’t nag, O hag,

Don’t give me a tag,

You have a right to hold me

You don’t possess to break me

Handle with care for feelings are tender

For crushing patience none can  brag.
