So I wrote this:
Getting Out
Toys scattered, mums chatting,
Happy toddlers -
busy, noisy –
Racing round the Church Hall.
Smile, talk, join in with “friends”.
Coffee please, milk no sugar,
Thank you, yes it’s a lovely day.
Yes, he’s sleeping through now,
Thank God, I get some sleep too...
Who to sit next to, whose face welcomes?
Everybody happy ...
Smile...
Can they hear a heart beating fast?
At last it’s over...
Time to go home...
To shut the door...
To be alone....
