Isabella at Advent

Drama at the kitchen sink?
Caught in a moment on the brink
Of a clean of teeth or hands
Isabella, smiling, greets her fans.

In red today - with heart on show
This tiny creature makes me glow
So self-assured, in perfect pose
Unfazed by cameras – and it shows.

Mum, though busy, takes a break
Together, Mum and daughter make
A welcome intro in my day
And banish all that Belgian grey.

Not yet one, but getting there
This blonde Cutie's wide-eyed stare
Shows her powers of observation
Sweetness needs no invitation.

Her first Christmas looms ahead;
Will she hear bluff Santa's tread?
Too young perhaps to pick up clues
Though Thomas (five) has other views!
