"Gap Year" by Jackie Kay. Here is the WONDERFUL site offered by  BBC Bitesize , which talks you through the various stages of the poem. As the BBC site explains:  This poem describes Jackie Kay’s feelings for her son Matthew as he is travelling on his gap year. She remains at home wondering what he is doing, reminiscing about his childhood and reflecting on how quickly he has grown up. Here is an annotated version of the poem,  Gap Year .  Gap Year (for  Mateo ) I I remember your  Moses   basket  before you were born. I’d stare at the  fleecy white sheet  for days, weeks, willing you to arrive, hardly able to believe I would ever have a real baby to put in the basket. I’d feel the mound of my tight  tub  of a stomach, and you moving there, foot against my heart, elbow in my ribcage, turning, burping, awake, asleep. One time I imagined I felt you laugh. I’d play you  Handel’s Water Music  or  Emma Kirkby singing  Pergolesi . I’d talk to you, my  close stranger , call you  Tums
