My Little Boy.

Goldfinch60



I remember that day so well,

I was there,

There when this tiny little human being came,

Came into my life.

He was late of course,

His mum had to have castor oil

Just to make him appear quicker,

But he came

Came into my life,

This so called bundle of joy.

This bundle of joy

Who mixed the tea and coffee together,

Who put toys into the drawer of the washing machine

So I had to take it apart,

This little man who didn’t stop all day.

 

But this little man was special,

So special to me.

I never once let him win

At anything,

And when that day came

When he beat me,

Beat me at draughts,

It was one of the proudest days of my life,

He beat me of his own accord.

And all through his life

He has done things

Of his own accord,

Beating me at many things now.

This little boy of mine

Now a forty six year old

Six foot four man

Of whom I am so proud,

He is married to a wonderful lady

And I have two super grandchildren.

 

So although I never let him win

It helped him to win in life,

Into this fine life he now has.

Our love between us is tangible,

Mind you,

He still can’t beat me at Backgammon!

          everything wholesome and hope replenishing
          I could ask for in a read - worded, so relatable;
          I'm so happy for you, my friend
          and so, so well deserved
          here's to your 6'ft 4 'boys'
          46th, cheers grandpa Andy 🍻
          (and Hugh Laurie, what a treat!
          I'm a fan of everything he does)
          thank you for allowing us to share
          in your rewards of life, how very generous
