Change


Baby bawling in your pram
Out in the garden, airing in the shade
She’s soon a little girl, Daddy’s Joy
Proudly balanced behind Dad
As he pedals up the path on your trike.

First day at school: life’s a mystery
Numbers belong to a secret society
Schooldays stretch across the years
Playground fights, sick in the classroom
Awkward, podgy, shy and clever.

Time to shed the puppy fat.
Time to shine, to be a wanton.
Down the disco: vodka and French kissing.
Friday morning maths a nightmare.

Boyfriend turns to husband overnight.
Romantic love and domestic drudgery,
Baby bawling in your pram
Out in the garden, amid the nappies.
