For L From Mrs Ducky

Please come, meet Mrs Ducky
I can tell you, she is lucky
she makes not quite right things good
though I think she should have worn a hood
she has come to help you see that in the dark times
you're still free
she's come to hold you when you doubt
from deep inside you'll hear her shout

Quack Quuuaaackkk Quaccck !
(loosely translated from ducky into I love you)

For L From The Easter Bunny

I am the Easter Bunny
and you may think it's funny
that I should choose to paint my egg
blue as the bluest sky
there is a reason, ask me why
a reminder when the clouds are grey
at some point they will go away
revealing what is always true
sky, like my egg, that's always blue
they will return, so don't dispair
above there is that sky of blue
and a day that's always fair

One Year On For L&J

That day was one year ago, return with me if you will
Because I have some memories and I feel like they’re gonna spill

I want to take you L, back to the moment you came in
You stood so upright and tall, I think you floored them all
Your smile was so wide, as walked with such pride
Up the aisle to Pachelbel’s call

Come with me J, as we turned to the back
Watched you enter and light up the room
Your face said it all, you were having a ball
At your wedding, your petals in bloom

Made your way to the front and excuse me, so blunt
You kissed with the swapping of rings
There was a song that you chose, Rollin’ river (what prose!)
And then right on cue everyone sings

As those wands crossed the aisle and you wandered in style
Now married, a pair, how divine
There was food, so much food, it was all brought to share
And of course, the beer and the wine

Later that day, there was your dance
Mesmerise in loves sweet trance
You learned the tango, showing off your fandango
Both amazingly brave, I think

Goodnight to Mrs & Mrs, with all of our hugs and our kisses
As the night drew in and came to a close, your life together began
What a send off my friends, through a rose tinted lens
Who says a wedding needs a man

Seems like only last week, your vows did you speak
In front of so many of your friends
But a whole years gone by, blimey doesn’t time fly
How’s it been, well that just depends

On your outlook you see, it was never to be
Easy, despite what you thought
And big chances of growth for you and you both
As you’ve been called to let go of the ought

Love has been there in the palm of your hands
Since that day, last May
Another leg of your way
In the hall near Blackpool Sands

Some reasons to be happy you see
You found love, there’s no mistake
Hold on to what you feel inside
Though it may take a while to bake

Remember, take heart, every day is the start
Of beautiful, never you fear
Together you stand, so hold out your hand
To receive this brand new year
