I want to grow up big and strong like you <br />so I ate all my supper, the broccoli too; <br />and here's two stickers I kept <br />to give to you when you come home <br />and here's the jigsaw I did all on my own! <br />And later I want you to build again <br />that track for Thomas my train; <br />oh and here's a big hug and a BIG kiss <br />to make sure you know that it's you that I missed! <br />And mum said I must put away all of the bricks <br />before we can play with the cars, <br />can you do that, when mum gives me bath? <br />And dad let me put your shoes away <br />because you're not going out again today!<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arriving-home-2/
