To Smile Like A Child

"Some days I feel like an old lady. My bones ache. I am weighed by responsibilities. I have worries I never dreamed I would have to have. But when I curl up in bed, on my side, dragging my legs up in to the foetal position I feel like a child again. I smile like a child." ​ Excerpt from #nanowrimo2018 attempt.
