BACK STREETS - inspired by a line in another WOL post

I've travelled  down the major highways

To self-important places;

And I've spent my time in minor byways,

Meeting much-loved faces,

 

But no matter where I choose to roam,

I end up at the start,

Always finding my way home

To the back streets of my heart.

◄ GOLDEN BOY - a memory of schooldays hero-worship

ENGLAND EXPECTS - or maybe not! ►

A warm little poem, although the metre threw me.
