David Thewlis Instagram – Happy 18 Gracie
Long ago I had a dream
That I would meet a child that might have been
And now this child that I’d foreseen
Is my smiling tiny tall girl
And my cool moonbeam
And sometimes you might ride in a fine limousine
Or bounce on a pure silk trampoline
And some days you rock as the TikTok queen
And may yet grace the cover of Vogue magazine
But I know that behind the scenes
You’re still my smiling tiny tall girl
And my cool moonbeam
And fortune might gift you
An Oreo Supreme
Or a golden Versace submarine
Or the very best seat on a time machine
Or the whole of the England football team
But I’ll always see you
In your downtime, offscreen,
As my smiling tiny tall girl
And my cool moonbeam
Messing with glitter and plasticine
Or tending your crystals
Or letting off steam
Trying to keep your bedroom clean
Climbing the walls in quarantine
Turning your nose up at tinned sardines
Dressed up as a spider for Halloween
You’re a lark
You’re a scream
You’ve just got to be seen
Yes you’re the child that might have been
Who waved to me from deep in dream
You came through
You came true
And now you’re eighteen
My smiling tiny tall girl
My cool moonbeam
