Wedding Day

Wedding day

The doors burst wide open

The notes start to play

As Wagner’s great chorus

Starts this special day

A floating white angel

Glides right down the aisle

The moment I see you

Just can’t help but smile

This day we’ve been waiting

To say out our vows

As we share with close ones

Commit to mop brows

Inscribed on the gold rings

Nunc scio quid sit amor

I’ve now said that I do

It’s you I adore

As we turn and face south

And walk hand in hand

With you I can be sure that

Our lives will be grand

Unrequited

Unrequited

That sweet rhythmic sound

As my phone it shines bright

I study each letter

The way that you write

I feel my heart sink

As deep down I just know

That you have no wish

As two we’ll shall grow

To me you’re my angel

I just wish you’d see

If we were together

You’d set my heart free

And then comes the words

That tear up my soul

“I’ve found someone else”

One gaping great hole

I need to accept this

This life that I crave

But OK it could be

If I can be brave

Charlie Hebdo

Charlie Hebdo

They went to work with pens in hand

And set about their love

A moment then it changed it all

Shots rained down from above

The ink from them it left their veins

And drew a work of hate

The date the seventh, the month the first

We shan’t forget that date

On that sad day were forced to pay

The right to have free speech

But we rose up and said “Mais non!”

A lesson to you we’ll teach

The deaths of these and others too

On three bad days in France

Have only made us stronger now

And made us know our stance

This right we have to speak our minds

Speak up and feel free

Is greater than your wish to hurt

Because Je Suis Charlie

My last one

My last one

There’s been a lot of times before

Where it’s been tough for us

I’ve wondered if it’s really been

All worth that stress and fuss

And then I sit and gaze at you

And realise ‘course it is

Cause you’re the only one I know

Who makes my brain go “whiz!”

We have this special bond do we

That makes us a great team

So much of my time spent with you

Leaves smiles that do just beam

If I was asked to outline

All of this that we have got

I think the words in the next bit

Shall summarise the plot

This deep-filled love I have for you

I know that it will grow so

Cos you my dear I hope you know

You are worth my last rolo.
