1.
Oh God I was so proud of you, so proud to be your girl
Your wife
You made me feel beautiful, young and full of life again
I would often find myself picking myself up off the floor
When you’d walk in through the door
Your Cheshire beam warming me through and through
That’s how much I loved you
2.
I spend my time in the garden when I feel motivated
Motivation is a hit and miss affair these days, while I bide my time
Trying my best to work it all out, pulling the weeds, remembering songs I used to sing
I can do it – pace myself. It’s not like I have to be anywhere in particular?
Slowing things down to feel my way, has taken me to Europe
Where I wandered about on my card, searching for that part that has her roots in history
She’s done it before, moving, started over, moving but I’m tired
If only I knew how to put down my own roots and reap what I sow
3.
When all is said and done, I’ll be on the move – not run, telling you all to get fucked!
With a huge big smile on my face and crows feet
Happy 🙂
