Burnt baked beans in the bungalow,
Clotted cream cooling on the ledge,
Christmas puddings & the annual stirring,
Aluminium pans!
My memories of Mum - food!
Cheese scones, lardy cake (not lately)
Hot cross buns
Cranberry juice.
My last mouthful to her - gooseberry fool
Mmmmm..... lovely, she said
And licked her dry lips.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
