To Charlie-Jade or CJ as I have always known her, my lovely granddaughter on her 19th birthday. Happy birthday baby love always Nannie xxx
This little lady is now nineteen years
But already has suffered much sorrow
Life isn`t fair to give her such pain
But thank God she still has tomorrow.
I count on my fingers how often I see her
Yet I still love her as nannies will do
And if I could guard her from hurting so badly
Then that is just something I know I would do
CJ my darling now you are a woman
A figure to die for and eyes of bright blue
Be happy my sweetheart, life is for living
Go forward and love every minute won`t you.
Do not look backwards just live for today
For youth it is fleeting and fast as a stream
Before you know it dear you will be forty
And look back and wonder if this was a dream
So save it my lovely enjoy every second
The last teenage year, yes keep it in store
Memories so precious lock them up safely
And throughout your life you will save many more.
One day you`ll marry have kids of your own
With someone you`ll love with all of your soul
He must deserve it so carefully choose him
Two devide two and you`ll make a whole
But for today CJ laugh and be happy
Nineteen years old, such a wonderful age
Remember I love you my bonnie lassie
As you are turning another life page.
Hope in some measure these words will tell you
I never forgot - in my heart you live still
That you are my granddaughter CJ my baby
I loved you then and I always will.
