 Penniluck's legacy

Circle of Life


To my darling daughter Angela Margaret Lily who was born on 30/3/1965 and is 46 years old tomorrow. have a wonderful birthday baby, love you always will Mum xxx
PS I shall be thinking of you on the 31st too, with a mother you are never alone. xxx

I hugged a secret to myself - a woman's` intuition
My flat tummy fluttered with a certain recognition.
I knew that a tiny form - although just two weeks gone
Was curled up within my womb-just waiting to be born.

The labour started-long and tough
But just as I had had enough
I felt the urge to push you out
To the midwifes I did shout,
Angela Margaret Lily`s here
Champagne out - or have a beer.

Big blue eyes and pale soft skin
Hair not there - not yet grown in
Later I would feel the joys
Of frilly dresses - girly toys.
Proudly show you off to all
And you and I would have a ball.

Soon came time to go to school
You waved, I cried - and felt how cruel
This world could be to part us so
But right then I did not know
That was just the very start
Of many times that we would part.

You grew up and left once more
To marry on a different shore
Gave birth as I held tight your hand
Another girl, now that was grand
Then we parted once again
Oh how much I missed you hen.

Now you`re forty six years old
Every moment carved in gold
And each precious memory
Lives forever within me
Your conception and your birth
The times you made me shake with mirth

Watching you become a mum,
Now a grandma, hear the drum
Of life repeating time on time
I`m so glad sweet girl you`re mine.
Have a happy day today
Sorry you`re still far away

No matter! you lie in my heart
Making sure we`ll never part
Memories that we can share
And those when recall wasn`t there?
I will hold and share with you
Pass it on my baby, do.

And don`t forget my love for you.
