Twice Ten


To my lovely great grandchild Mia Angel who is the big ten years old today. Happy birthday darling love always Grams and Star hugs xxx

I can`t believe how time has flown
You are ten now...nearly grown
You had a birthday here last night
For you were born way out of sight
Across the oceans far and wide
New Zealand brought you on its tide
Now you`re home but tell you true
You have birthdays, yes you`ve two
Funny how you`ll always be
Not quite the age you are you see
Depending where you`re standing still
You could be up or down the hill
But hey you know that is just fine
Happy... Happy birthday mine
You love Nannie and your brother
Yes your Dad, your sister, mother
Look after all you are so kind
All love you lots within their mind
My darling I remember when
I was a little girl of ten
Like you...quite the little lady
Looking after all the babies
But take time to have some fun
Soon enough you`ll be a mum
But first grow slowly time will be
You will get as old as me
Don`t rush these moments in the sun
These golden moments...every one
Precious diamonds just for you
Save them in your memory too
For today I wish you joy
Play a while with a girly toy
Write this day down in your book
So one day you will take a look
And remember way back when
You were a lovely gorgeous ten
Happy birthday dreams come true
All my love from me to you
