Happiness, Hope and Hugs

'Sometimes the broken goes all the way through'

My Mummy gets sad

She cries all the time

No hugs can fix her

Not even mine

She looks in the mirror

Then she gets grumpy

She groans and she moans

About being all lumpy

Then there are times

When she crawls into bed

Snuggles under the blanket

Pulls them over her head

I crawl in there with her

And give her some love

She whispers you're an Angel

Sent down from above

My Mummy gets angry

About being tired and sad

It doesn't take much

For her to get mad!

I tiptoe around her

Hope not to be seen

But it's not always like that

Sometimes she just beams!

We giggle and tickle

Roll around on the floor

We dance and we sing

These times I adore

I don't understand

Why she gets upset

Why one day she laughs

At the floor being wet

The next time she mumps

She grumps and she groans

She's not nice to be 'round

I wish she'd leave home!

"This house is a mess!"

Pick up your toys!"

She shouts and she screams.

It's a frightening noise!

Sometimes the broken

Goes all the way through

And the ouch can't be seen

By me or by you

My mummy she loves me

And I know this is true

She can't help feeling

All stormy and blue

When she is happy

The sun seems to shine

A million times brighter

And I'm glad that she's mine.
