Parents Evening; At the tender age of two, What will they tell me, about you? From the beginning, You sat there - legs swinging. Posture slouched, Lips placed in pout. You looked at me, With A smile so sweet. Then glanced across, Towards the empty seat. You fidgeted you fiddled, You picked and you nibbled. Your teacher entered, And she read, Your report that clearly said - Ava is A lovely girl, Who speaks so well! When in defence, She can raise hell. So kind to her friends, and shares a treat! She rather has a stubborn streak. To summarise, without much time, Your daughter is doing perfectly fine! I looked towards my little girl, Our thoughts linked, our eyes synced, So we could swap our secret smile, For she truly is - Me as A child.
