My Child


Dear Child,

I want you to come into the world 

It doesn’t matter if you cry 

If only I hear you breathing 

It means you are alive.

I will hug you to slumber 

Although you’ll sometimes smell,

I will hold you tight after 

And I will look after you well.

When you turn one 

You’ll have lots of fun,

You may move to much 

But you will always be my hun.

I will take your picture 

On your first day at school,

when you’re only 3 

all your classes are cool.

Ill remember your first birthday 

With all your friends and family,

Im so glad that I made you happy.

Time flies by 

You are now 16,

Its going to be tuff

because now you are a teen.

And then graduation comes

And so does my tears,

Youve finally made it child

YAY Cheers!!!

You have to pay your taxes

Until you’re 65,

Even though you’re still alive .

Perhaps I’ll have a grandchild 

Running across the lawn,

And I’m thinking about this now 

Before you’re even born !!
