When You’re Four

Everyone thinks that when you’re four,
You’re not a baby any more.
And some days when you’re four you like
To be a big girl on your bike,
You dress yourself and brush your hair,
You battle dragons in their lair.
But sometimes when you’re four you need
To take things at a different speed,
And have Dad squish your sweaty palms,
And snuggle in your Mummy’s arms.

  1. Lovely Pooky, but it doesn’t stop after four either, I think in some ways that travels with you through life.
