For the visually challenged reader, this image shows two young girls standing outdoor looking at a book which both of them are holding jointly.
The sun was out and we’re so happy
Read the book for the first time
You read it out loud, I was so proud
We liked that book and all the words rhyme
Mum gave you that book for your birthday
You wore a dress with ponies
I was so proud, you read it out loud
At home Mum cooked us macaronies
You were five and we played hide and seek
The book was behind the trees
You read it out loud, I was so proud
The sun came out and we liked the breeze*

Your poem took me back to the days of reading stories to my boys. Sadly they’re in their l;ate teens now and would kill me if I tried to read to them.
Well done on reaching the end of the Challenge.
