Bea will be one in just a few days

Still she sleeps in my arms

She has a beautiful wooden cot

Beside our bed

But not once has she slept in it

I do not know how to put her down

She has a beautiful rainbow nursery room

She has not yet slept in it

There is no furniture in it

We are lucky that we have a space for our baby

Not everybody does

Bea has a room

A beautiful room

That she is going to share with me

A space for Bea and me

Where she can rest and play

And I can work

With my beautiful baby beside me

Not in my arms

I am going to be beside her

Be able to watch her sleeping

But also able to do the things

I want to do and need

In more ways than one

It is time to make space for Bea and me
