little fingers
around my thumb
happy smiles
for dad and mum
walking away
first day at school
a kiss for dad
in Poppy's pool
shining eyes
in candle light
counting stars
on a winter's night
special song
to go to sleep
a little girl
is counting sheep
fairy castles
in the sand
walking home
hand in hand
at Seventeen
those days are gone
the path of life
your tread upon
but still I know
there will always be
these yesterdays
as a part of me
Dedicated to my darling daughter, Alannah...so many wonderful yesterdays.
