Early On A Summer Morn


To my beautiful grandchild Maddie who is 28 years old today the 6/7/16, and doesn`t look a day over eighteen, love always from Nannie and Star hugs xxx

My dear those years have flown away
But I still remember that sweet day
When early on a summer morn
A child came home and you were born

Hair as dark as was the night
Skin of cream, oh what a sight
Eyes of dreamy chocolate brown
A happy cry but not a frown.

Now that baby is no more
She`s back upon that golden shore
Of time... that passes as we go
But I want you babe to know

You brought joy with every cry
And Mum would sing you lullabies
You went to sleep on Daddy`s knee
And came up here to see old me

Not so old then but then time
Is no real pal or friend of mine
You have made us all so proud
And we shout it all out loud

Maddie is a nurse you see
And worked hard to make it be
She succeeded, I knew she would
Sassy kid, but she made good

Now has babies of her own
She makes them a perfect Mum
Finds joy in every step they take
Maddie even learned to bake

Clever, beautiful gold inside
From her children she won`t hide
Her love and just how much she cares
Maddie plays and works and dares

To make all her dreams come true
That my baby is just you
Have a happy day today
Save it as it floats away

Dream your dreams and live life well
For my darling truth to tell
Life is yours just for the taking
Love and laughter in the making

Happy birthday baby mine
Hope you have a lovely time
Nannie loves you... Star does too
All our love flies down to you.
