I'll miss you, but not THAT!

The "no", the "now" and the "why not"
The stamping of feet and the door shut
The rolling of eyes and THAT pout
All of these things I'll miss, not!

The endless hunger and demanding
The never forgetting and reminding
The trying to remember and note writing
These I doubt I'll be a-missing.

The lunches or money and PE kit
The reading and homework needing a tick
The swimming lessons and all the beavers list
I won't miss them, not one bit

But....
The kisses, the hugs and the tickles
The time together and the secrets
The day to day knowing every-thing
What I'll miss is definitely these things.
