Sally Cronin shares a poem I wrote about my Michael when he was a smaller lad than now. It brings back such lovely memories for me. Thank you for sharing, Sally.
Welcome to another post from the archives of children’s/YA author Robbie Cheadle. This week a poem for her youngest son, and co-author for the Sir Chocolate series, Michael Cheadle.
My Michael by Robbie Cheadle.
I love my little Michael,
He is the sweetest boy;
I often give him cuddles,
And buy him a nice new toy.
We read our favourite stories,
About dragons and brave knights;
He thoroughly enjoys them,
Then, out go all the lights.
From closed cupboards and doors,
Lurking monsters stealthily creep;
And my poor little lad,
Can’t get an wink of sleep.
Into the marital bed,
My boy quietly slides;
And between his loving parents,
From night time horrors hides.
Mom and dad lie, awake,
While Mikey kicks and dreams;
Unable to get any rest,
Counting sheep won’t work, it seems.

That is one for him to keep for sure. Some day he will read it to his own kids I bet.

I hope so Elizabeth. He is very cross with me today because I have taken his phone away until he has studied for 40 minutes and made notes.

Nothing like no phone to motivate this generation. Same here.

Robbie, my pleasure! I too, am so fortunate to have two wonderful daughters who have lovely natures and are successful in life with college degrees and great careers. My oldest daughter is a speech language pathologist for children, and both have always promoted care for others. They both volunteer their time for children, animals, and believe in fair play, and democracy. Karen 🙂
