Tiny Feet, Tinier Toes!

In my determination to try to get all the words and ideas I have swirling in my head written on paper, I managed to muster this little poem this morning, mashaa`Allaah. This is just an excerpt - visit my main blog for the full poem.


Tiny Feet, Tinier Toes!


A thud to the left
A thump to the right
Banging and knocking
Are you alright?

A wriggle, a tickle
A twist and a squirm
Bumping and pounding
An acrobat's turn

Waggling your toes
Sucking your thumb
Waving your hand
Say "Hello Mum!"

I only just wish
I could hold you close
Bathe you, feed you
Stroke your nose.
