Karakia
My precious babies
When the sun shines let it warm your skin
Your heart is warm
Your home is warm
When it is cold know you can find warmth in my arms
I will be your shelter
I will help you build a shelter for when I’m not here
You have such strength my little ones
I believe you will do amazing things
I know this
Because I’m your mother and your mother knows things
Dance
Be anything you want to be
I will be here no matter what
And you can be
a princess
a ballerina
a digger driver
a caterpillar in a cocoon
You can be
brave
and bold
and bright
And when the sun shines I will play with you in the garden
And when it rains we can stay inside
because it’s ok to not like the rain my sweet babies
Everything will be ok
The sun will always shine again
Did you eat your matchbox car?
Oh my God why would you do that?
How did you even do that?
No I’m not angry.
But don’t eat your cars. Jesus.

Awesome as usual! What does “karakia” mean?
Awww thanks š
A karakia is a prayer, or sometimes an incantation, or a blessing.
Wonderful use of bathos. Thanks for a chuckle – and for the touching sentiments and words that preceded my chuckle.
Ha Ha!
‘Oh my God why would you do that?’
Love it!
hahahaha Well, I totally didn’t expect that. Thanks for the laugh!!
