We worry, us parents, don’t we?

The future brings such anxiety,

even today brings concerns:

Does he sleep enough

Is the food healthy

Am I making the right choices

What else should I do

What should I stop doing?

On and on the record  plays

in our heads.

So one day I thought

to ask him.

To find out for myself

once and for all.

The biggest answer

to my biggest and most feared question.

“Son”, I started

“Are you happy?”

His gorgeous blue eyes sparkled

as that beautiful smile appeared,

“Mum”, he almost laughed at my doubts,

“I love my life”.
