Present For A Granddaughter

By Sheena Blackhall

A Parcel for Skye
Stand well back when you lift the lid
Let the unicorn gallop out
With his princess hooves and his silver horn
He’ll leap like a flashing trout

Next comes an elf queen holding clothes
Princesses golden gowns
With velvet slippers and gloves of lace
And sparkly diamond crowns

And finally out pop wishes galore
Each one with a loving kiss
That every day is a happy day
And every year is bliss
