Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition
The baby cries before she speaks,
"Mummy, daddy" she says, so sweet.
Crawling, talking, walking soon.
Soon she will find things to do.
Goes to school, and then gets a job.
Goes for teacher, lots of fun.
Teaching, working, paying bills,
Soon she'll meet that someone, who?
Meets a guy and falls in love,
Buys a house and moves in fast,
Gets engaged and says her vows,
Everlasting love around.
Has kids of her own, they grow up fast.
Develops cancer, no cure, no treatment, she passes.
Up, up, up she goes to the land above.
May she rest in peace.
