To Laura-Beth my granddaughter who is 13 years old today. Happy birthday baby. love always Nannie xxx
Teenage years arrived at last
I look back and see the past
Watch as she arrives on time
Mummy screaming she is mine.
Pretty dimpled little face
Party dress all made with lace
Matches golden hair that gleams
Lullabies of sweet sunbeams.
Of to school reluctant kid
No choice, has to do what`s bid
Now at last she sees the goal
An adult soon and she`ll be whole
Laura-Beth I wish you will
But you know the truth to tell
Do not hurry into age
Slowly, slowly turn the page
Before you know it you`ll be old
Save this time, it`s made of gold.
