I miss my Nan, her life so hard
I miss times of which she was a part
I miss my Granddad I barely knew
I miss grandparents that weren’t true
I miss another Granddad, Irish he was
I miss him geeing his horse
I miss My uncle taken away
I miss the games we did play
I miss his twin, My father he was
I miss the times we sadly lost
I miss friends of which there are many
I miss them all, stories aplenty
I miss one, in the navy he was
I miss his stories of the war and the sad cost
I miss my friend, he played guitar great
I miss his humour and mind, my mate
I miss his journalist stories he did tell
I miss his drunken spider-walk of hell
I miss my Irish friend, like a brother he was
I miss his friendly way, me the lost cause
I miss the talks we used to have
I miss his wisdom, what we had
I miss them all and more besides
I miss them and love them with pride
I miss what could’ve and should’ve been
Taken too early, left torn heartstrings
I miss them all with a heavy heart
From them my memories shan’t part

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
