Dear Mum,

I want to relive that moment

One more time

That time I waited behind you

In the kitchen

For sweet potatoes to roast

I want to watch

As you arrange biscuits

Around the cake

You baked last night

For my 3rd birthday

One more time

I want to wait impatiently

For that cake

Locked behind the cupboard

To keep me from eating it

Before the party starts

Come on

Let me have one more bite

Smile for the camera

One more time

As you stretch your hand

To give me a piece of cake

Get me one more sausage

You know I love those

Protein allergies?

Minor issue

I just passed my school entrance interview

One more won’t hurt

Let me celebrate a little

Hold me

Let me touch your chubby cheeks

With my tiny fragile hands

One more time

I barely turned 4

Ask the Lord

For a minute longer

To be with your son

One last time
