Baby Freya
Freya’s face
Changing like the sea.
Now sad
Now glad
Now choppy with wind
Freya’s questing hands
Searching like mice
Testing
Tapping
Eager to know
Freya’s cavernous mouth
Gummy with smiles
Delight
To melt
A million freezers
Freya’s head
Fuzzy felt
Soft curls
Worn away
With a thousand snuffly kisses
Freya
Emerging, blinking
Into the day
Come my love
Shall we play?
The theme today is Peace Friends and Family
Most families have babies in them from time to time. Babies are so precious – we want to love and protect them, and do all that we can to give them the best chance of a happy and peaceful life. What do you want for any babies in your family, or for the babies of the world?
Do some research – what are the life opportunities of babies in different kinds of families? What story does your research tell you?
Find some pictures of babies on the internet or in magazines. Can you make a collage which tells a story that you want to tell, based on your research.
Write a poem to a baby that you love, or a baby that you have seen.
