Childhood

I remember waiting at the garden gate so filled with joy Waiting for my hero to come and picks us up -i was just a boy We only saw you on the weekends through no fault of your own I knew you would always be there ,you would never have left us alone Those summer days when you would take us away I remember them as if they were yesterday Walking through the fields, climbing the hills Playing in the sea, flying a kite as far as the eye can see The caravan holidays playing in the arcades So many memories no one can take away The fun fair rides that would take me up high Seeing you laughing as i went whooshing by I remember sitting on the dodgems laughing as we bumped into each other Thinking to myself how lucky i am to have you as my father Christmas mornings waiting for you to come over Not wanting to open our presents untill we were all together Sundays all around nans for tea Setting of the fireworks i would watch from under the big tree We went to the cinema i had to lie about my age I hope these great memories i have never fade Two old ladies sitting in the sun there skirts up to there knees You brought them both an ice cream they turned and smiled at me Those long days spent together fishing Running up the canal laughing because you had fallen in So many memories i have I'm so glad to have you as my dad You worked so hard to give us kids a good start I will always love you from the bottom of my heart
