Nanny and poppy
Came for a visit today
Cuddle overload

Little chatterbox
Making lots of new noises
Quite pleased with yourself

Smiles inflate my heart
But the screaming pierces it
Just like a balloon

This is your safe space
In my arms, against my chest
Breathing together

Mum rollercoaster
Highs are high and lows are low
Keep holding on tight

Didn’t get it ‘right’
Tomorrow we’ll try again
What’s the formula?

The hard bits will pass
That’s what they keep telling me
I want to know when?
