Who...
Who will unknot her shoelaces which tie her pretty shoes
When it's time for breakfast, her cereal help her choose
Who will tie her hair up in pretty ribbons of blue
Who will kiss her 'Good Morning' and whisper I Love You?
When I am gone...
Who will see her off to school and see she takes her lunch
and welcome her in the evening, feeling proud as Punch
Who will have her favourite dinner for her ready
and tuck her into to sleep at night, with her favourite Teddy?
When I am gone...
Who will be there when she skins her knees
Put on her scarf and gloves, so she won't freeze
Take her for walks in the silvan glade
and call her for tea, when it is made?
When I am gone...
Who will welcome her first date
Wait up and worry when she is late
Who will see her walk down the aisle
and catch the sunshine in her sweet smile?
When I am gone...
Who will welcome her first born baby
and say she looks like Gran, well...........maybe!
Who will hold here gently when she cries
to calm and soothe her sad wee sighs?
When I am gone...
