I took my son to shop
I had some things to collect
Bread rolls, some cheese and a new mop
And get home before he started to object
The girl at the check was slow
We queued for ever and ever
Eddie got grumpy and wanted to go
But then his eyes began to glimmer
He started to shout and point to his right
He really got quite excited
So I knelt beside him and looked from his height
To see what made him so delighted
Just past the check-out girls’ hair
The escalator rose in the air
People were rising on magical stairs
So we both spent a minute looking there
Eddie looked at me and smiled
I said ‘wow an escalator over there’
The world is exciting if you’re a child
Take time to stop and share
