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

Tossing and turning
Can’t get comfortable in bed
Why can’t you relax?

Granny has arrived
So many cuddles for you
Respite for mummy

Sun always rises
Bringing renewed energy
Do it all again

Is tonight the night?
Will you sleep all the way through?
Maybe tomorrow

Doing the same thing
Over and over again
Is insanity

Swinging by yourself
Grown up like the other kids
Your face shows pure joy
