Anniversaries
Craig, I know you have some days
When you just lose your rag.
You tell me I don’t listen
And that I’m such a nag!
But there’s lots inside my head
It’s chocca block in here
It’s not done to annoy you
Or make you say ‘Yes dear’.
You chose me as your wife, you see
So you have yourself to blame.
I’d like to think you feel quite glad
That I now have your name?
For whether I can make you smile
Or smirk, or grimace too
There’s got to be a little part
That’s glad you said ‘I do’...
​
...and it goes on...
Fathers' Day
Dad, you know what I will say
I say it every year
If I could dream the perfect Dad,
Then there you would appear!
You’re like the genie of the lamp
I make a wish, you’re there
Whatever worries I might have
I always know you’ll care.
For tax returns and work problems
For school stuff I must write
For covering letters or advice
Your view I will invite.
Above all what I do adore
Is that you never judge
Your love is neverending
It’s a rock that just won’t budge.
And mine too is forever
For yes, you’re stuck, you see
So Happy Fathers’ Day, my Dad
From your favourite daughter - ME!
... and it continues...
Another thing, personally, I will so miss
Is Christmas cake – wow you were good making this!
I’ve not tasted better from anyone EVER
A real taste sensation to savour forever!
You always said I looked so happy and cheery
Even when life turned decidedly teary
You loved both my children like grandparents do
And they always loved all their time spent with you!
And James always felt you were welcoming, kind
Of his own grandparents you’d often remind
And now here in Salisbury they too came to rest
So clearly you’re here where the company’s best!
But memories live on in the photos we took
So many good times, we have only to look
And we’ll see what a part of our lives you became
For all of us, it will not be quite the same.
