A song to my sons

I feel better when I’m tucked up in bed
And drift off to sleep with eyelids like led

I feel better when I awake
To hear birdsong as the dawn breaks

I feel better when I’ve had my first caffeine kiss
The first cup of coffee is bliss

I feel better when I see the green shoots
Of recovering plants growing up from the roots

I feel better when I smell clean clothes
On the washing line – where the wind blows

I feel better when I have got
Lost in a book or film and its plot

I feel better when I have solved
A problem which takes some resolve

Because of your unconditional love
And all your kisses and all your big hugs

I’m happiest when I’m with you
With you in my life I’ll pull through….
