A sneaky one

She's a sneaky one,

That daughter of mine

Often too quiet

Up to some mischief

It wouldn't surprise me

Doesn't say much

Flicking through

My notebook

I come across

Some notes

She's written 

In her sneaky way

Long after she's gone 

A few scrawled messages

Dating from some time ago

Assuring me of her love

Congratulating me

I'm all chuff and teary

I told you she's a sneaky one

But I love her so

Being sneaky isn't so bad is it? 

Well not in my book

That's for sure.
