Save This Time

To my granddaughter Grace Marie who will be 19 on the 15/8/11 Happy birthday darling have a wonderful final teenage year. love always Nannie xxx

Hair so fair the sun shines through
Eyes the brightest startling blue
Skin so peachy soft and tender
Yes my lovely I remember
Way back when you were just three
Sitting on your Nannies` knee
Shyly listening to a tale
Of rabbits down a rabbit hole
Poor broken dollies magic mended
And all the things we both pretended.
Then you grew and went to school
Followed patiently each rule
`Till you reached the age you are
Now a bright and shining star.
Boyfriends, loving, planning too
Next Prime Minister that`s you.
I tell the world, I yell out loud
How much you`ve made me oh so proud
Yet still I can think back and see
My bonnie lassie only three
Still the same sweet sunny face
Joined the adults in the race
To reach the goals that you have set
Last year as a teen and yet
I know that you will save this time
Grace Marie I`m glad your mine.
Memories you`ll make of gold
To remember when you`re old
Have a happy day my dear
And a very happy year.
