Hailey is My cousin<\/p>\n
and, in so many ways<\/p>\n
We mirrored each other<\/p>\n
in our early days.<\/p>\n
Our \u00a0fathers were absent<\/p>\n
but our mums thankfully<\/p>\n
were attentive to needs<\/p>\n
and were purposefully<\/p>\n
both beautiful souls<\/p>\n
Watchful and caring<\/p>\n
earnest and loving<\/p>\n
and, always sharing<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hailey \u00a0brother Barry<\/p>\n
and Hailey were two<\/p>\n
Peas in a pod<\/p>\n
they were both good and true<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
growing up she said she really<\/p>\n
looked up to me<\/p>\n
whatever the predicament<\/p>\n
we seemed to be<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Assured, she remembers<\/p>\n
when she was sixteen<\/p>\n
I gave her a scarf<\/p>\n
Made \u00a0of \u00a0soft messaline<\/p>\n
she loved it so much<\/p>\n
it was good to wear<\/p>\n
so soft to the touch<\/p>\n
But she was aware<\/p>\n
growing up we were close<\/p>\n
but when I left, \u00a0as such<\/p>\n
our paths hadn\u2019t crossed<\/p>\n
We were just out of touch<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
friends, \u00a0drifting apart<\/p>\n
With tears in their eye<\/p>\n
I was \u00a0in the Harlequin<\/p>\n
in Watford a sigh<\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t have normally<\/p>\n
been there \u00a0but Annette<\/p>\n
said I should go there<\/p>\n
and thats where I met<\/p>\n
Hailey again<\/p>\n
we were able to<\/p>\n
catch up on stuff<\/p>\n
It is what real friends do<\/p>\n
We remembered how we went<\/p>\n
to St )ames \u00a0in Bushey<\/p>\n
Sharing our sad childhood<\/p>\n
And the challenges, we<\/p>\n
faced absent fathers<\/p>\n
But both had good mums<\/p>\n
all the abuse<\/p>\n
but we were still chums<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
so its been three years<\/p>\n
since we got back again<\/p>\n
I was thinking \u00a0she may have<\/p>\n
abandoned me<\/p>\n
over my sadness<\/p>\n
but the tragedy<\/p>\n
was she had given birth<\/p>\n
a rather sick child<\/p>\n
who had a heart problem<\/p>\n
with her partner it was wild<\/p>\n
low times and sadness,<\/p>\n
and masses of stress<\/p>\n
it was just all of these<\/p>\n
circumstances, \u00a0no less<\/p>\n
that was the reason<\/p>\n
No contact was made<\/p>\n
all the uncertainty<\/p>\n
really it weighed<\/p>\n
On both our \u00a0sweet minds<\/p>\n
This Mutual regret<\/p>\n
But we quickly picked up<\/p>\n
where we left off<\/p>\n
all set<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
fine, \u00a0we were activists<\/p>\n
sharing stuff, \u00a0I<\/p>\n
Said about the Catholic School<\/p>\n
and the wifi<\/p>\n
the radiation<\/p>\n
the dangers were \u00a0bad<\/p>\n
the governments arrogance<\/p>\n
and just how sad<\/p>\n
that children are being<\/p>\n
Affected each day<\/p>\n
and now the vaccines<\/p>\n
Being rolled out our way<\/p>\n
so much to talk about<\/p>\n
thats what we do<\/p>\n
depend on each other<\/p>\n
which really is true<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her Partner Matt<\/p>\n
she had known him for years<\/p>\n
he was a hard working<\/p>\n
an artisan who<\/p>\n
fitted heating boilers<\/p>\n
and serviced them too<\/p>\n
he had won some big \u00a0contracts<\/p>\n
in London and he<\/p>\n
Always worked hard<\/p>\n
and expeditiously<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a perfect family<\/p>\n
in so many ways<\/p>\n
a great deal of \u00a0love<\/p>\n
and caring<\/p>\n
which plays<\/p>\n
to the children, one Freya<\/p>\n
the youngest<\/p>\n
and Millie<\/p>\n
Adorable lasses<\/p>\n
always merrily<\/p>\n
felicitous and happy<\/p>\n
joyful and wise<\/p>\n
for their years<\/p>\n
and their bones<\/p>\n
wifi and phones!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hailey she cares<\/p>\n
and she makes sure her girls<\/p>\n
get the guidance they need<\/p>\n
knowledge she hurls<\/p>\n
its for their betterment<\/p>\n
and you can see<\/p>\n
they are really sweet girls<\/p>\n
as to their gadgetry<\/p>\n
they are not on their I pads<\/p>\n
hour after hour<\/p>\n
they listen, they learn<\/p>\n
and they empower<\/p>\n
each other<\/p>\n
a family, balanced and true<\/p>\n
lots of moral fibre<\/p>\n
and integrity too<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Damian thats Hailey \u00a0mums Partner<\/p>\n

an artisan,free<\/p>\n

faithful and loyal<\/p>\n
and expressly ideal.<\/p>\n
her Uncle Robert<\/p>\n
he went off to France<\/p>\n
bought a cottage and Land<\/p>\n
a right song \u00a0and dance<\/p>\n
but Thankfully Carole<\/p>\n
stayed steadfast and strong<\/p>\n
with a penchant for animals<\/p>\n
