‘Well you get it for being Jewish

Get it for being small

For any dawn thing at all ‘-Adrian Mitchell

Love You More

‘Do I love you

To the moon and back?

No I love you

More than that

I love you to the desert sands

The mountains,stars

The planets and

I love you to the deepest sea

And deeper still

Through history

Before beyond I love you then

I love you now

I’ll love you when

The Sun’s gone out

The moon’s gone home

And all the stars are fully grown

When I no longer say these words

I’ll give them to the wind,the birds

So that they will still be heard

I love you’-James Carter

‘The melody of a familiar song’-Kevin McManus

 

Terrible Isolation

 

No Weddings,no parties,no funerals

No celebration

We have to go shopping on our own

I think I’ve put on about a stone

I can’t deal with this separation

 

Some of us are making a transformation

Some of us are using our imagination

Supporting the NHS as a nation

Your tier depends on your location

Is everyone feeling the temptation?

 

We just need to be patient

Wait out turn for a vaccination
