Poem
Mum was on the phone again when I woke up today, When I called her name she shouted "go away!" I just want to play with mum that is all I need, she's to busy on face book and checking her news feed. Mum can you play with me I am busy and all alone, she answered "stop your moaning can't you see I am on the phone"? Mum your child needs you I am only four, you tell me off for nagging and sit me on the floor. you walk me to school with your head in your phone, I know it will be the same as soon as I get home. When were walking home I look up to you to speak, but your heads in your phone just like it's been all week. I sit down when we are home a tear in my eye, You say "what's wrong with you all you do is cry"? I wish I could explain but I am only four, Mum I really love you but you love your phone more. I said those words out loud wanting you to hear, I see you put your phone down i shed another tear. I felt a little shocked when you came over to play, we coloured in my book can we do it every day? I wont be a child for long I won't always be four soon I'll be an adult a child I'll be no more. spend time with your child don't let them feel alone, when I woke next morning mums head was in her phone. It was good while it lasted the little play we had, now Im left home and have a little lad. Mum you missed me being a child because your head was in your phone, I know what parent i will be not always on my phone!
