There were long winter days,
Waiting for you
The body coped ok
We couldn’t wait to see you
And then, there you were
Your tiny presence, amazed
Being weighed and checked
Every hour, needing care
Our house evolved
First nappies, then toys
Fluffy animals, dolls
Every room, was yours
Before our eyes you grow up
A schoolgirl in true form
Readers, pencils
and homework all-round
It’s challenging and exciting
To see you like this
Learning, experiencing
Life at five years of age.
