David Bennett Poems

'THE HOSPICE'

As he lay there in the hospice thinking his final thoughts,
Had he had a good life, or had it been just allright,
...

'SAYING GOODBYE'

Is never ever easy, especially for the last time!
Maybe its to a loved one who is moving on,
...

Have you ever wanted the night to last,
Often on your own if lucky partner with you,
Not a trouble in the world you lye there in contentment,
Snug and tight no feelings of resentment,
...

'AUTUMN DAY'

Beautiful colours whats left of the leafs,
Summer has left us winter is near
...

'CAN I BE YOUR FRIEND'

Said the Arab to the jew!
Course you can my friend meet my sister too!
...

'BEAUTIFUL LADY IN PINK'

I saw her on the bus she smiled and waved at me,
She was the most beautiful girl she gave me so much glee!
...

'TAMLA MOTOWN'

I remember in the sixties
Tamla was just for me
...

'I DO NOT KNOW THEIR NAMES'

I see them walking down the street always holding hands,
Obviously so in love, though their middle aged,
...

'I MISSED MY CHANCE'

I missed my chance of love forever
After all these years
...

'ALL THAT FANCY FOOD'

After all that fancy food at Christmas in the past,
Turkey stuffing Xmas pud things that do not last
...
