Wake Up Mummy
I would stand, silent
at the edge of her still bed
willing her awake
When I was little and had a bad dream or wet the bed, I would go into my parents bedroom and stand at the edge of the bed on my mother's side. I really wanted her to wake up, but I didn't want to disturb her. So I just stood there, this quiet little 4-year-old kid, willing her awake. Can you imagine being a parent waking up to that? My mother must have thought I was completely insane. I bet she was really glad that I didn't have a predilection towards sharp objects or sociopathic behavior.
