Birthdays in a year.
Today is my Birthday
I’m 4 years old today,
I’ve been waiting for ages and ages
For the time to go
But now that I am four
I can do the things I want,
So I started by getting up
OH yes, at Stupid O’clock.
I thought my mummy was asleep
as I jumped onto her bed
the blankets were tucked tightly, right over her head
but she was only pretending, the blankets over her head.
I said so quietly, Mummy are you up today
to which she replied, OH, let me go back to bed.
I went to climb off the bed, a little sad, I suppose
How could you have forgotten, my very special day
But, instead, she jumped up and shouted SUPRISE, SURPRISE
Not only was my mum, under those blankets in bed
my brother with the dog, grandma, and granddad all huddled in the bed.
It kind of shocked me, and I almost fell off the bed.
One minute I was in silence, now everyone cheering, Happy Birthday
This has to be the best day, that I’ve ever had,
and just when I thought it could not get any better
she shouted, let's go downstairs, there is more on show
and open up the door with presents on the floor.
I was so excited to open up those presents there
And spent the next 20 minutes
ripping paper and throwing it on the floor
Dolls and makeup, and dress-up clothes
A princess outfit, and a mermaid dress,
the one I always wanted as well
Now it is time to get dressed because there is one more surprise
I’m going to Bambo’s let’s see if Nanny goes down the slide.
I’ve only been up a few hours, Oh what a great day today
Well, it would be because it is MY BIRTHDAY and I’m 4 ALL DAY.
To Gracie, from Granddad 21/03/2024.
It is my Grand Daughters Birthday today and we gave her a start to remember.
Hope you enjoy this.
