My precious little tyke woke me up before first light<\/p>\n
voice like the flocks of parakeets in the trees at the<\/p>\n
transit center, a wall of noise of voluminous magnitude<\/p>\n
makes me smile as I cringe into my pillow.<\/p>\n
it’s too early, but never too early to see<\/p>\n
his smile, his eyes lit up like picture screens<\/p>\n
full of action and love and music and he’s<\/p>\n
singing, serenading my weary body as I<\/p>\n
switch on the kettle. he knows all the words,<\/p>\n
trust me, he’ll say them all before 10 am and he<\/p>\n
hugs me and his hugs smell like sunshine\u00a0of course,<\/p>\n
they dance together,\u00a0in and out, sparkling<\/p>\n
all day long. he is the song, the ear-worm<\/p>\n
in my head that I’ll never stop singing along to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
