NOSTALGIA

'My World' but such a different one

From the one I enjoy today.

A world that has gone forever,

'The Past' in every way.

In this church I was christened,

It is here my father preached;

And only stone's throw over the hill

The 'Dunkirk' boats were beached.

For this was Wartime Britain

And soon came evacuation

Which changed my life for evermore

Beyond all imagination.

When last in Britain I visited

Old haunts, to pay respect,

But 'Holy Trinity' was no more!

Well, what did I expect?

Demolished for high-rises,

That was its destiny,

But at least one person remembers.

It's still part of 'my world' for me.
