Deb M Poet Rhyme

-Blissfully Free

Together we were mischievous and playful
The naughty two
You….a woman in her eighties 
Me….your daughter in her forties and a mini you

Singing, dancing, getting up to mischief
Playing tricks, living in moments of pure fun
Laughing until we couldn’t breathe 
Both playful, silly, carefree, feeling young

You taught me so much before you left this world
The serious side of life ….the rights, the wrongs
You were such an exceptional role model
Authentic, kind and strong

The greatest lesson you taught me by example
Perhaps it was also hereditary 
Was to fully and openly embrace my inner child with humour
Just let my inner child fly blissfully free

I am truly thankful and blessed for this gift l was given
I cherish the special joy and memories we shared
I know your inner child now flies with the angels
While here on earth my inner child l share
