Henry’s First Holiday
Almost good enough to chew,
Hidden only to sleep or play
peek-a-boo!
Eyelashes curling toward the
night sky,
Like brushes, they could paint a star,
Will you ever know how wondrous you are?
Like brushes, they could paint a star,
Will you ever know how wondrous you are?
Clapping and laughing,
Gazing at passers- by
They go round the corner,
You follow with open eyes.
“Round and round the garden like
a teddy bear, one step , two steps and a tick-a-ly under there..”
Sandy toes and a fine snotty
nose
Screeching seagulls overhead
A salty plate of grilled sardines
And then its’ off to bed.
The barking of the bow wow
The dazzle of the sand
You walk with glee on cobbled
streets
But still need a helping hand
The splashing of the water- so much fun!
A lone trawler glides home under a
setting sun
You cuddle to your mother's breast
Cooing like a dove
Oh, Little baby Henry
You teach me how to love.
