A love in verse

I feel my life blessed by your love 

I sit here in a radiant sun

Reminded of you, warmth above,

All round, with yours within made one.


And from a train, the Thames, the trees,

Appearing perfect in their grace

Share their lovely power to please

With the heaven of your face.


And even when I play my part

And hear (I hope!) the laughter swell

I tell the audience in my heart

“That laughter is for her as well”

The Handyman

If only energy would stay – 

Two fingers up to eighty-two – 

Because you’re ill I’d wait on you...

The Wager

The best have loved the worst

Love’s no criterion

Of merit – that I am first...
