You picked my clothes up off the floor.
You brought me water, then juice, then milk.
I spilt the milk and you mopped it up.
You cooked, and cooked - meals, puddings, and more meals.
Lemon meringue pie, rice pudding, apple crumble, strawberry mousse.
I expected them.
You helped me, time and again, to say thank you.
Still, I forgot, I forget.
You loved me through my tears, my screams.
My foot-stamps, pushes, door-slams, biting - was I a biter?
I wound you up, up, up, and you wound me down.
You screamed 'one day you'll understand!'
I understand.
Thank you!
