 Penniluck's legacy

Try To Be Glad


To my son Clint on his 44th birthday today the 23/8/15 Hope you have a wonderful birthday son love always Mum and Star xxx


Oh how I wish I could turn back time
Take away pain, make your life fine
Put a joyful smile there on your face
Give you such joy in this human race
Others decided - son as you well know
They say what we`ll be - and where we will go
You had the tough end which doesn`t seem fair
I couldn`t change that - just only be there
Yet you`ve been so lucky, you beat the sorrow
And now can look forward to life in tomorrow
I`ve watched you growing, yes sometimes with tears
Into a man now of forty-four years
Look up my son, hold your head high
Around the birds sing as they go flying by
Be happy my laddie and do not forget
Don`t waste your living with lots of regret
Today is your birthday, dream now my lad
Of the future you can make, and try to be glad
And you just remember whenever you`re low
My love surrounds you wherever you go.

Penniluck McGinnis
