- A POEM FOR PEEN
- We remember long ago in – Nineteen Seventy
- The day that you were born, you were a little peen
- We’ve cried when you’ve faced heartaches
- And saw that when you grew
- Nothing broke your spirit
- Instead it strengthened you
- We are filled with mixed emotions
- As we hold back our tears
- And with much pride remember
- You growing through the years
- When we first held you in our arms
- If only we had known
- that the years would feel like moments
- And that you would soon be grown
- You will always be our special child
- That changed our lives you see
- Our Angel, our special baby,
- Our God-daughter our wee peen
She is the eldest of Joseph Quilietti’s and Margaret Morrison’s grandchildren, and indeed she is named after Peggy.
She was never far away from Peggy and Joe whilst growing up. Joe liked nothing better than spending his Sunday’s with his grandchildren/ He would pick them up and take them for a drive, maybe down to Porti or to see Four Joe his Pony. Then it would be down to see Grandma who would have something on the cooker simmering away for their dinner.
Josie and Pauline are like best pals today. Along with Alex. they have weathered all life has flung at them and have survived all the ups and down of family life over the years.
