GROWING UP

TODDLER

Mummy, I look quite tall.

And yet I’m still small,

But I do not want to stay this way,

I hope I’m tall like you one day.

MOTHER

Yes, love, I’m afraid the time will come.

When you could be taller than your mum.

Let’s not look ahead that far,

Please stay lovely as you are.
