Poem 8  Sunday Morning

2/9/2021

0 Comments

 
What's the best day of the week? 
For couples who work all week and play on Saturdays, it has to be Sunday.  For busy people, Sunday morning seems to beckon to us through the week.
We all have an idealised image of Sunday morning. For families with young children, a peaceful Sunday morning together may seem like a pipe dream. Never mind! In time,  you'll get your Sundays back! 
For me it is characterised by a lie-in, followed by a relaxed breakfast and some togetherness. For those of us of a certain age, every morning could be Sunday morning!  On second thoughts, perhaps too much of a good thing might do more harm than good!
       
Sunday Morning
 

If somebody should ask me
what I most would like today,
I think I know just what I’d have to say -
I’d say,
croissants in the oven,
spluttering coffee on the brew,
some early morning sunshine
and a table laid for two.
And no-one but my love and me
and nowhere else to go
and Sunday morning silence
with nothing else to do.
But more than this
I’d like to see,
a shy, soft smile
to welcome me.
For then I’d boil the coffee dry
and burn the buns
in ecstasy.

    My Life

    I was born in England soon after the war. I moved , with my family to Australia in 1966, where I was a soldier (briefly), a public servant, an opera singer,  and an English teacher.
    I moved back to the UK after twelve years and, after singing with D'Oyly Carte Opera for two years, qualified as a social worker specialising in dementia care.
    ​  I've run St Cecilia Dementia Care for thirty-two years now.  I've sung lots of opera as an amateur in Dorset and took up the cornet and trumpet, for good measure, fifteen years ago.
      I am married to Ruth and have two children, two step-sons and four grand-children.  Ruth and I moved to The Vendee in France last year (2020). 
    ​I am an avid reader and
    I have written poetry throughout my life.
