The Screw
T’was only yesterday I noticed you.…a sign perhaps of knowing something new
Quick! We are running late
Late for a birthday date
Playing, laughing having fun
Quick! It’s time to get more done
Pick up a car seat from the shop
Hold my hand, that car won’t stop
Snap goes the harness into place
Crap! Is that a screw in my tyre’s face
Out comes the jack and spare
To replace the tyre leaking air
Glad I remembered the steps
And strength still in my biceps
Back home safely for bit
A moment or two to just sit
Almost time for another celebration
Quick! No more time for hesitation
Stop!
What has happened to your eyes
An old fear starts to rise
My darling child is starting to swell
Big sister’s reaction remembered well
Hives all over your little tummy
It’s starting to feel scary for mummy
Off to a doctor that is still open
Please not again I am hope’n
