81 years of age. Still a golfer; magician; gardener; poet.
Ex police inspector. now a widower after 53 years. Two sons; three grand-children.
Half a century since we bought our house,
Which was standing all forlorn;
Love's young dreamers came along,
And a happy home re-born.
...
Just think if I had strangled you'
As I often thought to do;
I wouldn't be a grand-parent,
So grateful thanks are due.
...
Just two pills were in our cupboard,
In days of long gone past;
An Aspro; little liver pill,
Which made you go - and fast!
...
To a lady who thought with love of me,
Precious feelings will remain;
I no longer hear your loving words,
Nor ever shall again.
...
Perchance for times of darkness,
God gave us memory lane;
Where life is as it should be,
And shall on heavenly plane.
