London

London

The smell of primrose in my nose,
I glance upon this scene,
The cranes and domes they fill my sight,
This city full of green,

The blue bridge in the middle shows,
The twinkly lights rotate,
As bearskins march right up and down,
Stand neatly at their gate,

Do we head North or is it South?,
Just wait I need to check,
But not for long, a job made swift,
It’s easy thanks to Beck,

The cricket in the evening times,
It’s sixty-eight for four,
So take a bow, it’s time to rest,
And hear the Southbank’s roar,

The bridges breath goes up and down,
The tourists shall flock in,
As glass emerges high above,
The old reflected in,

A rainbow of eleven shades,
The quickest way to see,
This awe inspiring city,
One that gives us so much glee.

Christmas 2014

Christmas 2014

The shop lights are turned off
The streets quieten down
It’s now time for Santa
To visit your town

The movies have started
There’s carols to sing
And then comes the morning
With presents to bring

The nibbles are scattered
The liquid flows too
And hopefully we’ll share
A giggle or two

A stroll in the sunshine
The crisp winter’s air
Remember to tell them
How much that you care

So Christmas is here
And I wish you good cheer
I guess we’ll all do it
The same time next year

Who are you

Who are you?

When we are old and oh so grey,
Hope you’ll look back with me,
To tell me I was a good man,
With me felt good to be,

I hope you will recount the times,
That I stood up for you,
And made you laugh during the times,
When you were feeling blue,

It is my aim before I go,
That you would say to me,
I gave you all you needed to,
Fly high and feel free,

If when we're sat all wrinkled up,
Still holding your hand tight,
You let me know your life was good,
I’ll be proud I did right,

Right now I am just thirty-two,
To me you’re still unknown,
But hope you know I’ll cherish you,
This magic that we own.
