\"I<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I remember when I was three
We moved to my granny\u2019s house
With my baby sister<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the gate behind
The cherry tree that led
to the garden where granny\u2019s sister lived<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the pink bedroom
with white cosy blankets
And the sound of my granny sleeping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember my mum and dad dancing
Baking cakes on a Sunday
and every day was like Christmas day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember last week when I met Emma
I went into her house as the door was open
And I heard her mother\u2019s voice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember seeing her curled up in her cot
So tired and hungry she couldn\u2019t cry
With arms reaching out between the bars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the dirty clothes and the smell of neglect
and cider with no food or nappies
and a room full of strangers in uniform<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember \u201cAlly-Bally\u201d
As if a song would make it all better
And the final shock when I saw the uniform<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carer\u2019s uniform
of the mother
who could not care for her child<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember my childhood
and thought\u2026\u2026
Why can\u2019t it be like that for every child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
