TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS POEM PLEASE READ BRONTE INSPIRATION 1, 2 and 3 Little Patrick in the nursery playing with his toys Asks ''MUM'' can I have a sister like the other girls and boy ? His friends have told him in playschool about their expanding families Our little boy wants a sibling and we are only too happy to please With every waking moment , we climb those Bronte stairs Or get cosy on the sofa, the foot stools and easy chairs We felt that we had tried so hard and we had little left to give The doctor told us that our test had come back positive We are so very blessed Patrick’s a lovely little boy He looks just like his daddy; he is our pride and joy Despite the fact he’s young and only just aged three He is so excited at the expected addition to the family Only yesterday he brought me his favourite teddy Put it in the nursery for when the time is ready He would love a sister and has chosen a lovely name I’ve told him to be patient we must play the waiting game. Patrick often cuddles up and touches your tummy Says ' I can feel her growing inside you mummy ' His much loved chicken nuggets he shares with you Come on mum , you know you've got to eat for two We giggle as Patrick’s patience grows shorter I'm just hoping that we have a beautiful daughter He wants a sister with every ounce of his heart I'm praying that we can do our part. The time for the birth is now drawing near With you by my side I have nothing to fear Patrick is due to stay with his little friend To keep him amused on them we depend Finally the waters break and the baby is on it way We hurry to the hospital we have waited for this day At last the baby arrives she has such a lovely face Patrick’s name is so apt for her, so we have named her Grace We take care to involve our son in all we try to do Taking every opportunity to inspire hearts and minds a new Our children have their moments and sometimes they misbehave With love and careful guidance, we have a million memories to save So many children's giggles and demonstrations of love and care We give thanks to God for the happiness we share We've ensured the Bronte house is a happy love filled place A sanctuary of our own for our children Patrick and Grace 13th June 2014 Written by Jan Allison & Darren Watson
