Britmums Live 2013
Little people in my phone,
That’s normally where you stay,
But last weekend at Britmums Live,
You all came out to play.
Mums, bloggers, people,
Laughter, hugs and kisses.
Old friends introduced to new,
Hits and sometimes misses.
Groups who know each other well,
Who have been here before,
Gather together, smile and laugh,
Room for many more.
Am I too keen, am I too loud,
Do I appear too much?
Half finished conversations,
Rushing to coffee to lunch.
And then friends appear from no where,
Like you they feel the same.
Talk is easy, laughter lots,
No fear, no doubt, no shame.
Shyness, loudness, emotional things,
Personalities all so unique.
Strength in numbers, bonding slowly,
Not feeling such a freak.
We each are individual,
Brought together by one thing,
Over sharing, openness,
For another blogger…sing.
Leaving feeling emotional,
So many things to take in.
Leaving knowing I’ll be going again,
New friendships will begin.
