Childhood Memories
When we think of you our faces light up
Memories flood through us of happiness
Snuggling against you, listening to you breathe
Our hearts beating gently in time
Your lap is warm from little bottoms
Your arms strong and safe around us
Our eyes bright with laughter
Your hair glistening in the sun
Your voice is soft and smooth
It washes over us with tales of adventure
You kiss us with soft lips, pulling us close
Tell us how much we are wanted.
Little bodies topped and tailed
On a bubble covered draining board
Wrapped in fluffy towels by the fire
Our nighties warming on the hearth
Long walks in the woods with picnic baskets
Dandelion blooms toppling from overfilled buckets
Wellington boots and bread for the ducks.
Planting kisses on scrapped knees and elbows
Wiping away our tears, telling us it would be ok
Tying pretty ribbons into our plaited hair
Our clumsy fingers taught knit one pearl one
All these things you have undertaken
With endless patience and immense love
Thank you for making our childhood so happy
