I decided to write a poem to dedicate to Rickford and Emma and their baby Julian. Born 5 August 2011. I’ve not told him about it yet. I don’t think it’s up to scratch at all…I wanted to write something epic, but I got this:
I have a gift for you
When you open your eyes
I hope you like
Your surprise
It’s the sky
Look!
It goes on forever
I will tie it up in a
red bow
And put it in a shoe box
Don’t forget
It’s all for you.
And if I could be the weather
Rain would only fall in fairytales
Clouds would be only sighs
And the sun would never set
Until you closed your eyes
And one day I will teach you how to fly
I have a gift
It’s all here waiting
For you
When you open your eyes.
Write in Colour 
Aw that’s very sweet. “And one day I will teach you how to fly” I love this line 🙂
“Look! It goes on forever” – cute.
Right I bashfully showed this to Rick and Emma. Here’s his reply I wanted to keep…
Only just got round to seeing this, is very nice 🙂
Made me warm and fuzzy, as I’d relished showing him the sky for the first time, I made a big fuss of it. I think I even told him that it went on for ever. Emma was very touched. Thank you Sarah! ♥
