Should I enabled be, to start life again,
My father, PC William Pomfrey
Not as a babe unaffected by tears,
But allowed to age thru the learning years.
With Dad still alive, so I could strive,
Maths enjoy, no tears to hide my avoidance ploy!
Learn to use fractions, decimals as one should.
Enjoy the classroom scene as best as I could.
Persevere, learn and gain to levels high.
Work hard in school years and reach for the sky.
Would not change love of Nature within my life.
Mary Louise Pomfrey (Kingston)
I would be caring, sensitive, as father strived.
He was a policeman who cared with pride.
Then a victim of murder ended Dad’s life,
Through a source of infection, that added to strife.
The Natural world of which we should care.
All wildlife on Earth was put here to share.
I would paint as an Artist with colours that flow.
And receive praise for canvasses put on show.
My mother long gone, led a stressful life.
For she strived so hard as was no longer a wife.
My son and daughters the nest have flown.
To Paris, Suffolk and a West Country home.
I transferred from the South some years ago
Have travelled far and wide,
Including the Indian and Pacific tide.
Now married to Yorkshire land of the free.
Here’s to your health with a nice cup of tea!
