Little Liam
He’s very much a person, little Liam.
He toddles round the room
exploring things,
examining,
testing,
will it open?
What’s inside? Dare I look?
I’ll close the door then try again.
Hurray, it works!
When little Liam looks happy
a smile lights up his face
that is infectious.
Two bright eyes meet yours
and suddenly
the day is filled with happiness.

Lovely
"very much a person" - so true, so often we forget in the flurry of looking after children.
Beautiful meaning, mischievous picture, bonny boy!
Nice one DQ.The ordinary every day things are so interesting to little kids and it's funny how you see things again through their eyes, everything is new and wonderful- even a pedal bin! This poem capotures that so well.
Tanks ye!
Took me back. All mine are a few years older than little Liam these days!
What a face! Lovely poem to capture his endeavours and expression for posterity.
Precious!
Thanks everyone. Liam is second youngest of 15 grandchildren, and for some reason his smile does something special for me. Always raises drooping spirits.
Nice wee chappie
