When I first started writing around the start of the millennium. I wrote a piece called Angels. It was obvious who it was written about. As I’m now a grandfather, and I’ve been going over my very first scribbles to give them a polish,

I’d like to share it with you…

Angels

(Grandad’s Shed edition)

In the depths of my soul, I’ve stumbled and swayed.

As a father, I’m flawed, but my love never strayed.

No blueprint to follow, no roadmap to find,

But my love for you both is clearly defined.

---

I confess, there were moments when I was unfair.

But my love, dear daughters, was always there.

You are my angels, my guiding stars above,

I’ve always wanted the best for you, my loves.

---

Ups and downs, we’ve weathered the storms,

A bond unbreakable, my troubles transformed.

So please forgive me for all my mistakes,

And know that my love will never break.

---

For in every beat of my heart you reside,

With every breath, my love cannot hide.

So trust in my love, and believe that it’s true,

For there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you.
