When my daughter phones me
To tell me all the her news.
We enjoy our lively chat
And a frank exchange of views
And always in the background
I can hear the charming noise
Of my little Jessica
Playing with her toys.
Then suddenly little Jess
Climbs on her mummy's knee
And her long suffering mummy
Puts her on the phone to me.
When I hear Jess chuckle
And shout "Nanna" out loud
I get a rush of feeling
That makes me very proud.
Her tinkling laugh,
That wonderful sound
And I could leap tall buildings
At a single bound.
Then comes the giggles
That always affect us
Then Jess pushes some buttons
And promptly disconnects us.
