Mummy Do You Love Me?
by Nellie Shani As I walked down the stairs Fast as my little feet could carry me My mother was waiting impatiently At the bottom of the stairs I knew she was cross So in my little voice I asked mummy do you love me? Mummy do you love me? Even when I don't do things right Will you always be by my side to make things right? Mummy, my dear mummy, do you love me? Hurry up! she said Why does it take you so long to get out of bed? How long must I stand at the bottom of these stairs Waiting and waiting for a sleepy head? In my hurry to climb onto the chair My little elbow knocked my cereal bowl into the air. Looking into Mummy's angry face, Mummy do you love me? All day long, it seemed I was doing something wrong But in my little heart, I wondered where I belong When night time came, I carried all the blame I had angered my mother even with the last game As she finished reading to me and tucked me into bed She said my precious little angel I really do love you I closed my eyes as she said goodbye knowing Mummy did love me!
