Walking

Round and round the room,
up and down the hall,
Tiny Tom has found his feet,
never stopping, though he’s tiring,
slowing but not giving in,
little tumble, tears and cuddle,
then there’s silence, sleep.

I spent yesterday afternoon looking after my grandson – not so tiny now!

    I bet you’re ready for a nap too, keeping up with him!

    We just took out Daddy’s Brio wooden trains – Son of Son knows them as Woo-woos! I too often need a nap after watching ‘The grandson!’

    You captured the wonder of youth – they are tireless – until they sleep.
