Tick Tock

Inside and safe, fully sustained by me

Tick Tock

Snuggled safely in my arms , content

Tick Tock

Holding tightly to my hand , but eyes huge , searching, absorbing

Tick Tock

Keeping me in sight , but exploring.

Tick Tock

Learning from others now, but always coming back .

Tick Tock

I’m not always a hero now, but still a safe haven .

Tick Tock

Not so much looking back, eyes searching the horizon.

Tick Tock

Voting, driving , working but still I can be her valid excuse

Tick Tock

No longer holding her by the hand. But still a place of refuge.

Tick Tock

I Shift my place now- not quite on the sidelines, but not centre stage.

Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock….
