Emma and Rachel

Bike lessons given, grazed knees kissed.

My favourite days ever, so sorely missed.

With a McDonald’s hat on, 'want to pay'?

I still cherish those memories every day.

 

Bill and Ben bedtime tales told and retold.

The farmer’s dinner would always go cold!

'Rough and tumble' games, a treasure trail.

Every day I looked forward to without fail.

 

A taste in music and movies we shared.

Extra cuddles given if ever lost or scared.

Concerts big and small we would attend.

Your young broken hearts I tried to mend!

 

We went to Anfield to see our heroes in red.

I tucked you up snuggly and safely in bed.

Such special days…the best I'll ever know.

Not a moment I wasted watching you grow.

(for my daughters xxx)
