In my hand he held my heart

In my hand he held my heart Silently I was crying inside. But my son’s entourage was an unusually welcomed distraction, deflecting from the highly anticipated event, the first day of school. No wonder my son looked slightly on edge, with so much build up. I think he was starting to believe that we wereContinue reading “In my hand he held my heart”

When you close the door behind

When you close the door behind, auntie’s waiting with games in mind. Laughing, playing, telling tales, don’t tell mum and dad she wails. Auntie has the time she says, to take us for a treat or two. And when the knock comes to the door, she whispers not a word no more. Auntie’s always thereContinue reading “When you close the door behind”
