Poetry Written by Nana for Samuel and Grace
Ode to Sam

I’m going to be a Pilot or maybe drive a train
I’m going to drive a big red bus and bring it back again

Perhaps I’ll find an office in which to do my work
I’ll be really good at doing things
And you know I will never shirk

Maybe I’ll use a computer and be a whiz kid in the city
As I’m really normal underneath and don’t need any pity
I’m almost like most people but I’m made a different way
I sometimes feel that I can’t cope
But Mum and Dad fill me with hope
So if about in 10 years time
You remember that you’ve read this rhyme
Just look me up, it’s called “Samuel’s World”
And I’ll let you know how the rest unfurled.

Ode to Grace (Sam’s sister)
I have a younger brother his name is Samuel
Sometimes he’s good, sometimes he’s bad
Sometimes the days are really HELL
For him – for me his sister
And when it’s bad we YELL

We yell at one another
We yell at Mum and Dad
I hate my brother sometimes
And that makes us very sad
I hope that as I get older
I’ll be helped to understand
That all of us are different
But he’ll always be my best pal in the land!
