 Penniluck's legacy

Still Mine


To my handsome son John Paul on his 50th birthday. Love always Mum and Star hugs xxx

Still Mine

Did I ever tell you son how hard you fought to live
Together you and I screamed out...Oh dear Lord will you give
Us both a chance to live life long.`
And thanks to Him we both grew strong
You came through things no others could
You my son were strong and good

At last you found within your life
A happiness...A lovely wife
Kids who love with all their heart
As they did right from the start
Today I can`t believe that you
Are fifty years...it can`t be true

My son it seems like yesterday
You ran about outside to play
Time...a thief...steals from us all
But son today you have a ball
Fifty is a marvelous age
So as you turn this special page

Live it...Love it...give it hell
Life`s for living truth to tell
Hope just joy comes through your door
And stays with you forever more
I will wander back in time
For my laddie you`re still mine

I loved you then...I love you still
And darling boy I always will.

Penniluck McGinnis
