I was wrong

Thought I’d resettled
And now it was time for bed
Turns out I was wrong

My little teenager

I saw the future
You looked like a teenager
Eyes glaring at me

Good humour, resilience,
Compassion and love

Waving

Waving all the time
Wanting waves back in return
Funny little game

Regular part of your life
The future is now

Playdate with Ollie
Sharing your toys and dribble
First friends together

Beautiful

You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find, yes, you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel

~ Carole King, ‘Beautiful’ (Tapestry 1971)

Listening and dancing with Ella this morning to one of my favourite albums, this chorus stuck with me. Perfect advice for mummas to share with their little girls.
