CELIA'S POEMS

           No 100  June 25

              WELL, The letter from The Queen’s not here,

              I don’t think that she knew,

              I really am not bothered,

              As long as I’ve got you.

              I’m grateful for your friendship,

              It keeps me going on,

              ‘cause when you get to my age,

              Often all your friends have gone.

              I just cannot thank Geoff enough,

              He’s been a tower of strength,

              To get these poems to you on time,

              He’d go to any lengths.

              You say I’ve made you happy,

              That’s how it was meant to be,

              But really if the truth were known,

              It’s you who have helped me.

              This lock in brought me happiness,

              I went on a chat show,

              It just couldn’t have been better,

              I can talk, (as you all know).

              My heart goes out to those alone,

              They need to be set free,

              But if I were to be truthful,

              It’s flown for Geoff & me.

              I don’t want you to get this wrong,

              We need this to be over,

              So we can start where we left off,

              And all our lives recover.

              To those of you who’ve read my poems,

              And managed to reply,

              I think I may just carry on,

              And here’s the reason why.

              You won’t enjoy your breakfast,

              Without a word from me,

              You say I brighten up your day,

              That’s what I want to see.

              So if I send a verse to you,

              So that you will not forget,

              I want you to remember,

              We haven’t got out yet.
