proper brummie kid
Do not get angry if I should forget
For something is happening inside my head
I know I'm not stupid and not going mad
It's just that my memory is getting quite bad
I try very hard to think things through
And know it's very annoying for you
Please be gentle and try to be kind
It's not really me, just the state of my mind
I'm not unique, it's nothing new
And this could easily happen to you
There's no way of stopping the ageing process
So let's live in love and sweet tenderness
Knowing that on each other we can depend
Until the day our life on earth ends

Re: Did you enjoy your school swimming lesson?.

Loved swimming lessons, went with Yew Tree Road Junior School. We used to walk to Victoria Road Baths through Aston Park. Got myself free passes for being able to swim certain Lengths, a big help back then as I was one of five sisters.
 
A Beautiful World...

I did not know till I grew old
What beauty there was to behold
Now through these eyes I can see
All that lies in front of me
A starry sky on a summers Eve
Vivid colours of autumn leaves
Trees that stand so tall so bold
What stories they have never to be told
The greenery of the countryside
Rivers reaching far and wide
What a pleasure it is to sit and stare
At a garden tended with loving care
I love to hear birdsong in the morning
Telling us a new day is dawning
And what could be a better sight
Than a glorious sunset at start of night
.....

A winters Morning...

The sun is shining oh so bright
After a winter's cold, cold night
Fallen snow covers the ground
It's glistening light spread around
The trees stand in frosty splender
Reaching out, so tall, so proud
Dressed in their finest wintry gown
Majestic, Magical, Serene
Beauty like I've never seen!
