A love in verse

Nothing Except What’s Good to Give

She sees me off to go shopping

Loving wife of older man

He’s fit though, he’s no also-ran

He strides out never stopping

Inspired by her so fond and waving

Thinks with each step: my life she’s saving


Without her I’d be long ago lost

She’s given me children, constant love,

A home, a place to be proud of,

Framed in her style. To me, the cost

Was nothing except what’s good to give

Love – an easy way to live


In my life of simple rapture

I spread my net - and what a capture!

Signing On

Sitting  in the labour 

Where no-one’s very pally 

I try to love my neighbour...

Then

I got down from the train at Kew

Crossed the road to catch the bus

To home, the very heart of us...
