One
Two
Miss a few
Ninety Nine
One Thousand
Words till we meet
Well twice that
Then you come to me
To my new place
Makes my nerves race
You’re new to my bed
But already in my head
And in my thoughts
So I hope not to be a bore
I’ve not before
When we’ve met outside
So why do I now need *****
To keep the nerves inside
I need not hide
You know me
Well at least more than he
Who last I shared
But that’s the point
This time I care

Can it really really be
That now you have reached three?
So some little mean fairy flew down
And stole a ton of time from me
For it feels just days gone by
Since you were only wee
But not now
Now you are three!
So I think that that mean fairy
Has a wish in debt to me
And now I need to think
Of what that wish should be?
I know what I would wish
If she could be more magically
I would wish that today
I would be in your company
But this can not be just now
So instead I wish a wish
That on this day that you turn three
For your whole third birthday
You are so very very happy!

One
What a small number
But now that's what you are
One is so tiny
Yet you've come on so far
You're one now
And you smile, laugh, sing
Make footsteps, eat curry
But spill food on your chin
But that's ok
because you're still just one
And one is small
So you can cry, **** and sleep
Even though you grew so tall
So be one
Be small
And be tiny
Please make it last
For you're growing up really
Oh so fast

Wheeling our way around the continent
On an eight wheeled whistlestop tour
We sample cities with bite-sized sightings
But our bites are big because it's our choice to make
Walking in wonder until even wheelchair weakens
And our legs are limp from exploratory ache
​
And our bites are big because also
We share the same love of sampling food
So we get a daily dose of deliciousness
Healing our hunger with what locals bake
Too much temptation here to watch waistlines
We want to try every traditional taste
​
And our bites are bigger come tea time
Once we've crossed country again by day
From breakfast we watch out the window
And wander new place on the way
Miles mounting high on the dashboard
On our mission for mobility's sake
​
And so we've had a big bite of Europe
Big bite and plenty bites each day
These bites are teasing our tastebuds
We want more world at a later stage
​

Leave my dreams please
Give me back my smile
Your ache lingers
It's with me all the while
I won't deny the distance
But I can't deny the facts
What you've stripped away from me
I know you'd rather give right back
You've hurt me with a purpose
But the purpose is a fail
If you won't be there to hear this
Then I'll just be living hell
So back off from my memory
If you really must insist
Or I'm doomed in my own hopelessness
Whilst this gap you've caused persists
The problem is I'm stuck now
You can't erase my mind
But that is not the remedy
It's your hope we need to find
For I am still believing
I know it's me you need
I just hope you're not too stubborn
So our friend fate can take the lead

When the world became mine
My sit became a slouch
There was no tough and taxing
Just reclining and relaxing
I found freedom to live the world my way
Feet up and thoughtful
Adventurous and sociable
Could chose who to be each day
​

That's a sad story over there
Hand held tightly in her hair
Last night hanging on
And she's hanging
Hanging onto the pain
Wanting it to go away
But suffering all the same
