With all of the vocabulary In French or English dictionaries It's hard to find the lexical key To talk about our group of three How can a phrase or paragraph Describe the times that we have laughed, That we have danced and gone off script That we have twirled, or jumped or skipped The moments when we broke the rules With meals on sofas after school The rainy days you stayed inside And dressed like little princess brides The stories shared upon my knees The many menus from our deep freeze The secrets stored and then revealed The veggies left after your meals The homework finished in a huff Revision time never enough The songs performed, guitar and drum Making me a prouder mum. Friends to stay here over night Thus diluting the sibling fights Clothes to choose, new bags new shoes Some questions over whose are whose All these moments that we share Are answering all of my prayers A life of love and fun to nurture I have found and need not search for.
