LUCKY OSCAR

Zara, there’s no mistaking the kind of mother you are, The selfless, devoted, loving type - simply the best by far. Ever since Oscar’s conception, over two years ago, You’ve been ready to launch into motherhood with abundant gusto! Pregnancy suited you well, as you radiantly bloomed and glowed, You grew a magnificent cleavage and bump that barely showed! “It’ll be Friday 13th!” you used to joke, But ‘twasn’t so funny that morn when your waters broke! You laboured hard in Home from Home, With no pain relief just loud grunts and groans! As Big Ben struck three portentous chimes, You first heard your miracle’s earliest whines. Your beautiful boy was placed straight at your breast, And you sobbed and cried and felt elatedly blessed. As you gazed down and stroked his tiny, soft hand, You began your journey into parenting land. Now two years on, look where you are, A lounge full of toys and a baby friendly car! Oscar has become the focus of your life, The reason you feel fulfilled (and sometimes overcome with strife!). You patiently attend to his every whim, And with tantrums to watch out for there’s no denying him! He loves his irons, the hoover and the hose, And why he adores the water spray can, nobody knows! He enjoys Music Club and doing the Hokey Cokey, And he’s a major fan of Balamory Karaoke. But what’s so obvious about your little boy, Is clearly YOU are what brings him ultimate joy. You are the reason he feels safe in this world. You’re the centre of his universe. His protector from the cold. When he’s frustrated or sad you make him happy, When he’s uncomfortable or wet you change his nappy! When his tummy is rumbling you feed him his tea, And when he’s tired and sleepy you put him to bed gently. When he needs reassurance or a comforting smile, He simply looks up and realises you’ve been watching the whole while. You’re always at the ready to stroke his hair, To whisper you love him and let him know you’re still there. Thanks to you he feels content and deliciously secure, As you shower him with attention and love that’s perfectly pure. So each night as you read him his bedtime story, You should take a moment to reflect in your glory. For truly you’re an inspiration to all mothers around. The reason you’re so successful? You make sure love abounds. What’s especially amazing about the way you do it, Is your house is immaculate, you’re gorgeous and you act like there’s nothing to it! Well done, darling Zara for being the perfect mummy that you are, You’re a multi-tasking superwoman, a loving, giving star!
