Childhood
I remember waiting at the garden gate so filled with joy
Waiting for my hero to come and picks us up -i was just a boy
We only saw you on the weekends through no fault of your own
I knew you would always be there ,you would never have left us alone
Those summer days when you would take us away
I remember them as if they were yesterday
Walking through the fields, climbing the hills
Playing in the sea, flying a kite as far as the eye can see
The caravan holidays playing in the arcades
So many memories no one can take away
The fun fair rides that would take me up high
Seeing you laughing as i went whooshing by
I remember sitting on the dodgems laughing as we bumped into each other
Thinking to myself how lucky i am to have you as my father
Christmas mornings waiting for you to come over
Not wanting to open our presents untill we were all together
Sundays all around nans for tea
Setting of the fireworks i would watch from under the big tree
We went to the cinema i had to lie about my age
I hope these great memories i have never fade
Two old ladies sitting in the sun there skirts up to there knees
You brought them both an ice cream they turned and smiled at me
Those long days spent together fishing
Running up the canal laughing because you had fallen in
So many memories i have
I'm so glad to have you as my dad
You worked so hard to give us kids a good start
I will always love you from the bottom of my heart
