This is my Dad!



(clutch, happy, delight)

THIS IS MY DAD!

Clutch, Darling! Clutch tight.
Daddy's at a great height!
Oh so happy! Great delight!
There can't be a better sight!
Clutch, Dear, with all your might!
Daddy's hand says 'You're all right.'

BOOMERANG

I went on a coach trip to the heart of New South Wales;
It was hot and it was sunny, bright and dry.
Not at all like my own homeland, with its damp and verdant dales;
And something made me glance up at the sky.
There, a message in a boomerang said 'Yes, we come, we go.
But a heart will keep returning either way.
It will fly to England frequently, that you already know,
But Australia is where your heart will stay.

    I especially like the first one this time. I think my son is such an excellent Dad. It makes me think of him with his son. Very nice.

    The image with the first one really illustrates the last line.
    Love the boomerang in the sky and the words it evoked.
