Lucy's Poem
Lucy - (aged 5) came home with this poem and a Lucy sized handprint during the week. Apparently (according to P1 teacher) the Dunblane kids had carried out a similar excercise early in March 1996
Handprints left on steamed-up windows,
Fingerprints on clean white doors,
Grubby smudges on the paintwork,
Muddy footprints on the floor.
But those prints don't last forever,
so I've made you some to keep,
For the future when I'm older,
Sometimes you can take a peep.
To remind you of a childhood,
Spent enjoying every day playing,
laughing, learning, singing,
Loving life in every way.
Gives me a lump in the throat every time I read it.
[blows nose and thinks maybe an alias would have been an idea]

If she was writing stuff like that I would be well impressed. She made the handprint, which was a bit blurry, so I am not holding out to much hope that she will be the next Wordsworth or Picasso
