Mar 2015
in the blink of my eye
another thread frays
and breaks
the apron string one
thread smaller,
more fragile my hold
on your safe keeping

you run onto the field
oblivious to the loss.
reveling in the freedom
of running about with
an odd shaped ball.

I stand on the sideline
knowing you are small
but determined,
wishing for your blind
outrageous courage
yet knowing there will
be tears before bedtime.

the only question is,
will they be....mine
or yours?
first day of rugby league, he loved it..
me I was scared witless...even tho it
is a modified tap/tag  version.....
never thought I was a helicopter mum til now.....hopefully will improve as the weeks go by.....
