We are back
To a place that to me feels like home
Green grass
Muddy puddles
Sunshine, rain and rainbows
Matilda Mae
Lambs bleat over the rushing river
Excited children giggle and play
A peaceful sense of business
A home away from home
Getting to know again
Our special places
The pirate ship
The fastest, curliest slide
The upstairs playroom
The log burning fire
Finding new things
Tilda’s star
Here we are again
Our home from home again
Coombe Mill we have come back to you
For the birthday week that will never be
Marking the milestone of our baby in the sky
Feeling her closeness
Sensing her nearby
In the waters
Rain and river
In the land
The flowers and trees
This is her special place
This is our special place
A place to return to
A place to be
Coombe Mill we have come back to you
For the birthday week that will never be
Marking the milestone of our baby in the sky
We have come back
