Through the drawn curtain
Daylight seems to gleam,
Saying, Heaven’s certain;
Happiness no dream
Why this revelation?
Why does my heart play?
Simple explanation
Allie’s home today.
Brentford, old Brentford – means for me
My lifelong home, my angel-nest
My school, my pastime and, what’s best...
I passionately long to stand, hands in the bowl
Washing up, looking out onto our sunlit garden.
I long to see a cat move sleepily and pause
