Whoops!

To Melanie on her 24th birthday, I almost forgot, but she knows I love her. Nannie xxx

My little girl is twenty-four
I can`t believe it`s true
And I must apologise
I nearly missed it too

How could I forget this date
When I was standing there
As she said `Hello World`
And yelled, oh yes, I`m here.

Each year it takes me back in time
July and sunshine burst
She made me a grandma
Because she was the first

I`m proud of everything she is
And all that she will be
I`m sorry baby, I forgot
I`m getting old you see

I may sometimes lose it
And mix up the date
But you are always in my heart
The poem, is what is late

You have a happy day today
Make all your dreams come true
And remember that I love you
Now and always too.
