My Special Ones

Quiet times and nursery rhymes,

Holding you in my lap

Smiles then and no playpen,

How you would laugh and laugh.

Memories and times like these

Can really make me smile

Now you're grown, on your own

We talk across the miles

Remember then way back when

You were my moon and sun

I love you so you should know

You are all my special ones

You were all so sweet I repeat

That I love you more

Dreams of stays in yesterdays

Remind me what I'm living for.

Thanks Alison!
Thanks Charity, There was a song on the radio called Dance with me and when it was on I would dance with my babies and twirl around the room. They loved it and it was a great memory.
