Ode To Samantha 11
Mummy went to heaven cause they needed her up there
Mummy went to heaven, God tell her that we care
She was such a special Mummy, and we loved her ever so
Mummy went to heaven, I bet the angels know
As Daddy, Samantha and I together now we cry
Daddy asks why, with no words can I reply
To fill his empty heart, they have never been apart
I just told him to be brave; he got lots of memories to save
And not forgetting me, from their love I came to be
Now Daddy takes care of us, so we mustn’t make a fuss
He gives us all he can; he’s a special kind of man
And I’m glad he’s got his work, from it he never shirked
And I know it comforts him and it fills the interim
Till he’s with her once again, I’ll try and ease the pain
And Samantha and I together will wipe away his tears
We’ll remind him of the fun and all the happy years
We’ll think of our Mummy and both never misbehave
And all remember all the laughter and the love she gave
I promise to take care of Sammy and we’ll never disagree
And I’ll love her as I should and promise to be good
I’ll give her lots of steak, of the best she can partake
And when she gets those nasty horrid fleas
I’ll wash her and wash her and spray all of our settees
And when she meows and for our Mummy cries
I’ll hold in my lap and sing her lullabies
I won’t mention China or even Singapore
Pity she’s so yuckie and such a great big bore
Poor little Samantha now she‘s only got Dad and me
So I won’t even mention that she’s not a pedigree
Yep, I’ll try and love Samantha the best I very can
I promise I will not stick her in the frying pan
I’ll talk so soft and gently and never ever tease
Mum would be so amazed and ever so pleased
This Sunday’s Daddy’s Birthday, what can I really say
Suppose that just I love him and I’ll not be far away
After all we got each other and memories of shiny days
I love you Poppa, so remember to continue to be brave
You made our Mum so happy with the splendid love you gave.
