You are so kind, yes poetry says it all, I have the original stuck in a book and retyped to share the words.

Both my parents were keen on writing, my Dad did quite a script during the war years up north, Mum wrote a few good posts about growing up in her childhood, published in local newspaper.

Every father should give a meaningful poem to a daughter at 16, very meaningful whether written by Dad or not, it really is something cherished forever.
