God, I watched God last night
god it was good
God I just knew, the song, that song was for me
Then I noticed you
your glinting gleaming beaming smile
did a wiggle giggle googly as it bounced towards me
completely knocking me for six
I caught it and instantly fell in love
with you and it
it’s safely tucked away in your balmy box
gently sleeping amidst the other memories
Beautiful blond sun bleached curly locks dwell alongside your first tooth
silly songs sing to me then rock me sleepily into dreamland
pets snatch passing pictures
I still laugh at your joke, yes, the one about the fart
Your dangly dolls, your baby gang
lay aspread across your bed
sheathed in shawls
a shrouded veil of yesteryear
For my daughter Lorraine
