Upside Down in an Inside Out Kind of Way




Often when we become parents we assume the position of being teacher, guidance counselor, traffic operator; a position of teacher. Slowly, but eventually, often during a sleepless night you realise all the beautiies and little gemstones our little ones help us uncover.

Joshua and Elijah have managed to turn my life Upside Down in an Inside Out kind of way.
It's the most learning I have done so far, and I know this is just the beginning.
Goodness knows what's coming.

You Fill this Space

In my heart You are like a glowing splint
Your smile is oxygen
You burst into flame
And I feel your worth
Your eyes widen
As you want to know
Your smile creeps
into them
as you find out

Your excitement is joy
As you learn
your wisdom grows into laughter

And you
You fill this space
You fill this emptiness
Like liquid
You become
Pouring into everything
You fill this space
You fill this space in me
