When you thought I wasn’t looking
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you making my favorite meal,
And I wanted to learn how to cook.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you turn off my light at night while I was asleep,
And I wanted to start turning off my light before I go to sleep.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you hang out the washing,
And I thought I could do that too.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you waking up every few hours because of baby,
And I wished I could help.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I felt you give me a kiss at night,
And I felt touched and loved.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I heard you get angry,
And I knew that everyone gets angry,
And it’s okay.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I could see you making sure that we’re safe
And you made me feel even more safe.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I was looking…
Thank you for everything you do,
You make me feel safe and loved.

Hey Milla,
ReplyDeleteWow, Milla, this poem is absolutely beautiful. You almost brought me to tears as it reminded me of my son, Nico. It made me realise what children, like yourself, see when we think you are not looking. When reading this, I got the feeling that you have an important family member in your life that this poem was aimed towards. Would you be happy sharing who this was for? I am going to share this with my Mum as this is what I wish I said to her as I was growing up. Have you shared this with anyone? I loved reading your beautiful poem.
