Just give me one more spring
This is all I ask of you
Promise I to take all in
To cherish each tender moment …

So Monday can be but a dream …
MAKING THE MOVE

And can’t seem to work out how it’ll all go …
A MOUNTAIN CALLED LAGAZUOI
I penned a poem the other day

Realised there was a time
When he too had been just as near
Had stood back and stood as me
Realising something had worked out well …
WORKING THE GROUND
To it man, afoot
Sky clear, resolve firm
Foundations laid too
Spring in step scene …
A CHANCE PURCHASE
Recall of the childhood thrill
Mind cast back to combats of youth
Sat across the kitchen table,
The decorator’s tea my opponent’s constant companion …
