Poppa Jack
Erin was our young cleaning lady
Came in to clean our abode
Welcomed dear Erin in every fortnight
For her regular cleaning episode
Sweet Erin confessed her love for me
More love than her real Poppa
That was really quite difficult to hear
Never really knew her saga
Once asked if I could adopt sweet Erin
She agreed, with no hesitation
So sweet to know she loves me that much
But so sad to hear this revelation
Her Mommy and Daddy were separated
Many years before we met
Apparently he was never a good Daddy
Erin harbours the anger yet!
Such a sweetie, my dear dear Erin
Loved her to bits and more
A daughter I wished I had always had
She makes this Poppa's heart soar
