A Tattoo Of Me Poem by jon terry

I love it when your waiting
My Dad at the school gate
Telling me to hurry up
We don't want to be late

For what I never really knew
But it was always fun
Holding on to Daddy's hand
And down the street we'd run

How was your day
You'd say to me
Tell me what you learnt
Guy Fawkes invented fireworks

And London once got burnt
That's right my love
You'd laugh and smile
Across the road we'd dart

A proud smile across my face
A warm glow in my heart
Now I live far far away
You can't get me from school

Home time is fun no more
And Mummy's just aren't cool
So Daddy I've been thinking
And I've have got a plan

A tattoo of me I'll give to you
To keep upon your hand
