 Penniluck's legacy

Climb That Tree


To my lovely brother Peter on his 69Th birthday. Have a great day bruv and a great year love always Penni and Star hugs xxx

Once upon a time we were two children
And we had fun while climbing up a tree
I am the oldest of these lovely children
So I remember more than you can see
A skinny wee lad who tried to show his muscle
Who would have fought so hard I know for me
`Though undersized he was a tough wee laddie
But still could sit upon his mothers` knee.
Time past and rushed us into decades brother
Life happened with is loves and losses too
But today my darling little brother
Remember I am thinking just of you
This will be the last one in your sixties
Next year you will be seventy like me
All I can say is don`t you worry Peter
It`s only painful if you climb that tree
Live well in each precious little moment
Enjoy life and all it has to give
Be happy little brother in your new year
Each second on this earth you`re meant to live.
So find laughter little brother in this new year
And all the many years there are to come
There is only one way I would change things
And that would be if I could be twenty-one
Happy birthday Bruv just know I love you
And want for you the best there is to give
Good luck with that new born knee that`s coming
Sorry but I know you will forgive
A part of you is only just arriving
Another part might come to you quite soon
Then you can climb our lovely tree without me
And see again from high up there the moon.

Penniluck McGinnis
