Sammy and Scott’s Double Surprise!

Sammy and Scott’s Double Surprise! 

You’ve got a miracle happening in your belly

It’s far from feeling like a plate of jelly

Round and firm - you’ve quite the bump

I bet when they said it’s twins you did more than jump! 

That wiped the grin off poor Scott’s face

But now you’ve just assumed the position - BRACE!

Now you’ve got your head around the news 

You are definitely feeling far from blue

In fact it’s pink all the way

Two gorgeous girls coming your way

Some may say it’s double trouble 

But you guys won’t let them burst your bubble 

Helen’s heart nearly burst with joy 

Grandparents - and to girls not boys! 

Mel’s already been on a massive shopping spree

And planning holidays next to the Mediterranean Sea

Great grandparents are all at the ready

To help steer the Powell’s ship and keep it steady 

So it’s two of everything from now on 

Ordering nappies by the tonne! 

Enjoy every moment and record all the joy

Don’t worry about your hair, the mess or the toys!

In years to come you will sit and reflect 

And those memories you’ll fondly recollect 

Good luck - you are going to be the most wonderful parents to two beautiful baby girls. ❤️

Summers Cruel Blow

Summers Cruel Blow 

The summer is drawing to a close

We’ve nearly used all our clothes 

We weathered rain, wind and a storm

It really has become the UK norm

But as August slowly slips away

We remember the harvest is on its way

But most of all let’s stop and think 

Other countries sit on the brink

As fires ravage their beautiful land 

Where tourists enjoyed sun kissed sand 

So whilst our summer has been quite dire 

At least our homes are safe from raging fire

The Pigeon’s Flight

The pigeon moved as fast as light 

He’d only just taken flight

His wings were going hell for leather

Willing his brain to use every feather

Income obstacle up ahead

There’s a woman throwing a load of bread

What to do - where to go

Oh I will just open my beak and in it goes!

Robins Rest

We walked along the path to where we laid you to rest

Out in front of us popped a robin with his bright red breast

He sat there on the path as if he was asking us to stay

I stared at him, I smiled, raised my hand and said hey. 

He cocked his head and stood there as if to say hello 

All I heard was the leaves rustling and the wind blow

He hopped up into the bush as if to take a closer look

He sat on that branch, just like an open book

We moved a little closer as our eyes met

It was like he really knew we were no threat

He stayed a while and listened, his head moving side to side

Then we both realised this robin was our guide

It surely was a message sent down from our dad

For this brief encountered we truly were glad
