With affection, she I call “Sweet Pea” The lady’s smile, I always see When she waltzes by with sponge and mop With a cheerful wave to all that lot Who never see her scrubbing there... To tidy kitchen, loo and stair, Who never see her great technique Let alone defer to speak.....
Sweet Pea we’ll miss your great finess Your bright and cheery fix of mess, Your happy way of making right That which most refuse to sight, May you find your life’s real gain Dispelling old folk’s aches and pain. May you have sweet days of bright Without a cleaning mop in sight.
Love and a great big kiss of gratitude For the wonderful sparkling world you have given us.
