How can that be my baby?

Barney

How can that be my baby?
How can that be my son?
Standing on a rugger field,
more than six foot one.
Steam rising from him,
his legs are streaked with blood,
and he wears a yellow mouthguard,
in a face that's black with mud.

How can that be my baby?
How can he look like that?
I used to sit him on my knee
and read him postman pat.
Those little ears with cotton buds
I kept in perfect shape
But now they're big and purple
and they're fastened back with tape.

How can that be my baby?
When did he reach that size?
What happened to his wellies
with the little froggy eyes?
His shirt is on one shoulder
but it's hanging off the other
and the little baffled person at his feet
is me: his mother.
