Skip!

What is it all for if everything you own ends up in a skip
When your possessions and things end up in the tip
Went back to my late nans house today
Seeing all her things crushed I just didn't know what to say

Why are we here, what's it all for
With all our stuff left in a draw
Lying there long after we are gone
But life is precious and we must carry on

She had a long life, it was sad, it was fun
She had regrets which I am sure she wanted undone
But to see her old shoes just lying there
Wondering where she is god knows where

Old Wisdom

I know this old lady with white hair. Her eyes still sharp and skin still fair. She tells me stories from the early years. As I listen with open ears. You see the experience in her eyes.

Photograph Memories

These photos tell of days gone by. Looking back at the memories we have created. Holding back the tears with mournful sighs. People missing from everyday life their absence understated.
