 Penniluck's legacy

Take All My Love


To my babies who are going away to live in America. Cindy-Anna my daughter and Thumbelina, my name for her, my grandchild who will be four this year. May all the forces of light go with you and keep you all safe. Love always and forever Mum and Star xxx

Little dainty fingers, tiny pink toes
She shall have music wherever she goes
The voice of an angel, a heart good and true
Peachy soft skin, bright  eyes so blue
Her first steps are marked hard on my heart
Did not know back then that we'd have to part
She grew into womanhood so lovely to see
Everyone says that she looks just like me
She worked and she studied and passed every test
But no surprise there for she is the best
Got married at sixteen so very young
Didn't work out well but she has a son
A lad to be proud of who gives life his all
Now he is sixteen and growing so tall
Then Thumbelina my wee lass from Skye
I know I will hate it when we say goodbye
Our children grow up and they have to move on
I know I shall miss them the moment they're gone
Remember my lassie wherever you are
You are my baby you're my little star
Be safe in your new life and be happy too
Take all my love that I saved for you
The time's drawing near inside there's an ache
Feels somehow like my heart might just break
But know that I want the best just for you
So live every second that's what to do
Teach Thumbelina that Nannie is here
I'll miss her growing up year upon year
Love you my babies with all I can give
Enjoy life my darlings make sure that you live
Each magic moment with joy never fear
And maybe my children I'll see you next year.
