I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla…

Posted bykiwipommysuePosted inUncategorized 





Inspired by a bike ride with my grand-daughter today.  Also, a metaphor for watching over her as she grows.





I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla





I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla and watch you as you ride





I’ll keep you in my mirror, till we are side by side





I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla and make sure you’re OK





I’ll keep you in my mirror, I won’t just ride away





I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla though I may ride ahead





I’ll keep you in my mirror, just as I’ve always said





I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla, a promise I will make





I’ll keep you in my mirror, as long as it will take





I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla, until you’re fully grown





I’ll keep you in my mirror, till you can ride alone





I’ll keep you in my mirror Layla, until our roles reversed





I’ll keep you in my mirror, till you are riding first





Please keep me in your mirror Layla, though I may lag behind





Just keep me in your mirror and I won’t really mind

		I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful.
