As I write this, we find the whole world in the middle of the corona virus….the biggest challenge to the human race in modern times and this is a small diversion to the everyday issues. Slaymaker Lane is where I walk most days and here's my thoughts.
August 2020
In all these dark days, when things look so tough
When the sky looks so clear and blue
I go for a wander on Slaymaker Lane
And all my daydreams come true
I go for a stroll on my leafy lane
And things never seem quite so bad
The first sight of a primrose in springtime
What’s better than that to make you feel glad
Reflections of the sun on the water’s edge
Showing glints of all the fish below
And a heron standing there motionless
Waiting to have a go
That duck on the pond with it’s ducklings
Paddling as fast as they can
As I stand there talking to others
Watching water flow over the dam
The sight of the cows all grazing
Chewing cud in the midday sun
As I stop to talk to a jogger
Out for his morning run
This leafy lane in autumn
With a wind blowing all the leaves
And the distance hill on the skyline
Such a pleasant sight to see
Even the snow in winter
Can’t dampen my love for this lane
New and different sights every day
Just hope it can all remain
