Please think

Hey Mum! Look at me I’m really walking,

I managed five steps yesterday with Nan,

and Mum! I’ve nearly got the hang of talking

it takes a lot of effort but I can.

I can button up my coat and tie my laces

and the Nurses say I really have come far,

but I’d have qualified to be a nurse myself Mum

… if my boyfriend hadn’t drunk, and crashed the car.
