She leaped,
flipped,
twirled,
and dipped,
with her hips,
so quick,
I came,
to my senses,
before I slipped,
in it.

Good for me

I go to work
I look after myself

I try to be kind and
I fake being okay

Good for me
That’s all I’m going to say

I was small
And life was all
What family
Seemed to be
As norm

My family
Missed a warmth
A closeness
A need
Love

A mum
Who gave
So little
Of herself
She didn’t know

But it was missed
And now I know
Why I want
It
And need it

Love a feeling
A closeness
A warmth
A glow

An unconditional
Thing
You know
When you grow

As a child
I yearned
But as a parent know

How to share
A depth
Of love
And care
A hug so rare

But great to give
Security
A strength
Iv found

Now I’m a mum
