Strong Again!

This morning I bashed my head on the floor again while trying to eat my Weetabix with milk and trying to kiss my feet at the same time. Someone should have told me it was not advisable after all I am only 11 month and a half.

I cried hard. I thought the pain in my head was not going to go away ever again until I heard on the radio “Strong again” by N-Dubz. Do you know how powerful these lyrics are? Can you feel them coursing through your blood? No? Listen again!

“But Life It Will Only Get Better” They kept singing to my ears. Was it the truth? Would I bash my head less each day?

What did they sing again?

“I Can Hold My head High I’m Strong Again. I’m Strong Again”  Yes I was suddenly strong again my head was not painful anymore. My head was high. I got my walker. I got my sofa to hold on to. I was strong again. Yes. I was strong again. Thank you N-dubz. I feel so energised.

What is that? Is that a banana skin? Oh Nooooooooooooo!

Stop singing, Ndubz and bring me my Daddy! Right now. I need real love for my again bashed head.

Note to N-dubz: I think you’re great but there is no-one like my Daddy.

Bob, are you calling me?

My Mommy always plays Bob Marley. She says that it lifts her spirits.

My favorite song is “Get Up stand up“. In this song Bob is definitely calling me.

“Get up, Stand up” Bob tells me all the time and I do.  I climb to my feet and hold on tightly to the sofa.

“Stand up for your rights” yeah give me my grapes and my biscuits.

“Get up, Stand up. Don’t give up the fight” If you don’t give me the grapes pronto I will scream my lungs out. You hear me Mommy? It’s my right.

“Get up! Stand up!” Yeah I am standing up right now…euh where is my walker?

My second favourite song by Bob Marley is “Exodus” but to fully appreciate it I will have to open the windows on my own at some point.

Note to Bob – thank you for your inspiration. I love you man.
