Eric and Ella will come today,
\nBringing backpacks and smiles
\nwinging into this room
\nand filling each corner
\nwith love and play.<\/p>\n
The boy and the girl will
\nlift spirits and see all
\nthe small things that matter
\nin waiting and longing
\nand dreaming and tea.<\/p>\n
The doorbell will ring
\nso they’ll jump to their feet
\nand race to see who’s
\nknocking lockdown
\nand come here to meet.<\/p>\n
Baby birds in my head
\nhuddled close in their nest –
\nsensing feathers arriving
\nbeaks stir from their rest
\nand open in trust, to greet and to eat.<\/p>\n
