Happy Mothers' Day!

A blog post by Albert Semple

I wrote this poem for my son to give my wife on Mothers' Day. It's very personal, but I thought I'd share it here as a break from crude and political rhymes!

The morning walk to school  must be my favourite time of day. You help me with my coat and shoes  and set me on my way. I'll walk beside you, hand-in-hand,  describing from my mind The vehicles and buildings  that I've already designed. We'll meet familiar faces  as we wander up the brae — I'll ask you in a whisper  to arrange a date to play. Then as we reach the playground gate,  before I saunter through, I give your hand a triple squeeze  - the code for ＂I love you＂.
