Pride and Joy

My son, my daughter
These are words I treasure,
You are the world to me
In fullest measure.
When as babes in arms
I cradled you
And in your teenage years
I was there too.
If I could choose my children
I'd choose you.
I am so proud of everything you do.
And now God Bless,
God speed you on your way
I am still here,
To guide you on your way.

Music

Let the notes that fall so sweetly
Charm you in the evening air,
Never was so sweet a ballad
Sung with passion, love, and care.
Hear the notes rise ever higher
Listen to the music there
Here is beauty all around you
There is nothing to compare.

Bliss

The tree house caught my eye,
When in your garden I could stand and stare
And drink in all the beauty
That is lovingly kept there.
The hedges neatly clipped
The Lupins tall and stately,
The doves and birds that come to feed
The squirrels running swiftly.
The flowers too numerous to mention
Their colours so vivid and so pale,
The Willow tree weeps so gently
The Crown Imperial stands supreme.
Oh! what a wondrous way
To spend happy hours in a day,
To walk, to touch, to feel,
And know all this is real.

Lovers

Come close and hold me,
Whilst we talk,
And whisper that you
Love me still.
Lets count our blessings
Day by day,
And move together
Along life's way.
