 Penniluck's legacy

So Much To Achieve


To my handsome son Donald who is 34 years old today, my youngest son who against all odds made it here to this earth, and who has made a difference to everyone he meets. Have a wonderful day son Love you always. Mum xxx

You hiccuped right into my womb
We planned you to a T,
Said we`ll have a little lad
Who looks like you and me

I carried you way passed your time
I worried you would leave
50/50 were the odds
So much to achieve

And with these odds against you
You fought hard to survive
So much you had to do in life
So glad to be alive

Dimples in your honeyed cheeks
Blue eyes twinkling too
Everyone who met you
Fell in love with you

You sang the song of hope to me
And soon you learned to play
Music on your own guitar
Just like you do today

You write us lines which tug the heart
Yes my son you do
We are so glad we made you
And that you made it through

All that talent now is shared
The world can hear you sing
And me and Dad are proud of you
For that and everything,

You do in life
How much you show you care
We love you son with all our heart
God gave us something rare

He did not make it easy
Your first years were so rough
We should not have worried `though
Because God made you tough

A heart of gold
A soul of light
A gift to us
So good and bright

Have a happy day my lad
We`re proud of who you are
Our bonnie laddie Donald
Our very own sweet star.
