Just called to say I love you
wanted you to know
I treasured all the things you did
just wanted you to know.

When you held me in your arms
kissed my brow
told me I would be safe
knowing i wasn't.

I laughed away your tears
not knowing what would follow.
Said it was just a chill
on Christmas day it was shallow.

"we will not know for 3 more days"
Doctor told my mum.
"See how the virus goes,
where it will run.

Still that Christmas was full of fun
did I have polio,no one sure
I didn't care just having fun.
children never do.

Results came in
all was clear
pneumonia was to blame
lungs not clear.

Still a happy chappie
very very happy
living life to the full
no regrets,nothing dull.
