Though I left Lee Park for pastures new.
I returned to see mates, as young lads do!
I spent my youth there, a teenager by then.
Mischief levels grew from when I was 10!

We learnt how to 'stick' the lift in full flight.
We played 'Bulldog' until no more light.
To get on the roof was easy...child's play.
But those high winds nearly blew us away!

Dangerous high jinks on Attlee House roof.

I'm scouse as can be, Michael my name.
I was born above an 'offy' in Derby Lane.
My Mum's large family lived on 'the farm'
Money was short, but it did us no harm.

My Dad, he left us, something was wrong.
So my Mum took over, a woman so strong.
We moved a lot, saw tough times through.
Then settled in Lee park, with a great view!

In 64' an addition to our family, a little Sis!

In the last 5 minutes, just one car has passed.
No buses today, a day off for all drivers at last!
Stanley Park is empty, nobody learning to drive.
And I'm still waiting for the first jogger to arrive!

Where are the dog walkers today, none to see?
Some impatient dogs today, living close to me!
My car and others shiver in the morning frost.
I watch a seagull circling alone, maybe he's lost...

I don't need Christmas silver or Gold.
Just a winter hug to keep out the cold.
Money is not the answer, coin or note.

Material goods or wealth you can keep.
I can't cuddle them in my winter sleep.
What's beneath the wrapping and bow.
How deep does the love and feeling go?

It's Christmas Eve, the sky is blue.
Traffic is heavy, queue after queue.
A few last minute cards to write.
Early bedtime for the kids tonight!

Presents come out of hiding today.

For Emily, a dolls house to rebuild!
Christmas stockings to be filled!

Nothing else to seek, order or buy.

Ice does melt, it'll happen one day.
Someone will steal your heart away.
It'll probably happen out of the blue.
The right person turns up for you!

As love is like magic, hard to explain.
Like when a rainbow follows the rain!
And with a magical wave of a wand.
One day you'll find the perfect bond!

I believe true love will always be found.
As love, it makes the world go round.

A year a misery of stress and strain.
A rampant virus to control and tame.
A year of 'Lockdown' of Tiers and so.
A year of 'bubbles' but none to blow.

A year of heroes, a year of the brave.
A year of the window, chat and wave.
A year of isolation it became for some.
A year when a summer meant no sun.

A year of hardship, of sacrifice galore.
A year of eye contact, one of new law.

So in the park, a few already to be seen.

From a bucket, they munch on straw.
Tied loosely to a van, nice and secure.
They receive the works, mane to tail.
If 'on the pull tonight'..they cannot fail!

Winter cuddles, I love them so!
Hugs and kisses in the deep snow.

Body to body, and face to face.

Heart to heart, and hands to hold.
Tight together, keeping out the cold.

Dancing on mountains, topped with snow.

The traffic is sparse, a few indicators blink.
The pubs are empty, no after match drink.

Playing in tunnels, over a bed of stones.
Oblivious to human concerns and moans!

They get breakfast in bed, served in flakes.

He wanted a carry, but I wasn't to know that.

And everyone should carry him, was his plan.
