Terry Brewer

Beneath the surface of the blue, blue sea
Is a place I love to be,
...

I sit and look at photographs
And say I love you so
A thousand miles between our laughs
Yet they travel to and fro
...

Me - you what to do?
I do not quite understand
...

Written by Reg Brewer, my father in 1922 when he was 17.
These are words he choose to live by - me too.
...

My water ski, she is a beauty
Now she’s painted bright red and black
...

Once upon a time
We climbed from primordial slime.
Was it one cell, or two?
Well - at most just a few
...

Once I could laugh with anyone
Because, you see, I had a Sun
Her beauteuos rays would light my life
I wished that she would be my wife
...

Emerging from the doldrums
reaching for the light,
is it worth the trouble?
is it worth the fight?
...

Time is so very slow
And yet so quick
What makes it so
What makes it tick?
...

This day is your day
And I hope that it will bring
Happiness and gladness
And the freshness of the spring
...

True love – I’m sure there’s not such thing
Romances the tune of sorrow sing
So never give your heart away
For your love is bound to stray
...

Stil learning!
Tall waving grass
...

Who will speak for those who nobly died,
...

The sun carresses this granite isle
Where quietness rules the day.
The other world is sometimes grim,
here we smile, it is the Seychelles way.
...

Wynne’s bar is a haven
From the monotony cast by this isle
When the sun goes down of an evening
And it’s beauty has ceased to beguile.
...

The sky’s cry
And so do I
Why?
...

The buses come, the buses go
But aren’t those crawling buses slow
They creep and crawl and worm their way
And what extortionate rates we pay
...

Mulligan moans, Sinatra groans
From the record player
How can I write my minds sight
The record’s the poem’s slayer
...

Carolyn depends on you
And because of that many others do too.
She has touched and brightened so many lives
You must make sure that our Carolyn thrives.
...

I sometimes think I’m going mad
It must be this poetic fad,
Everything I say or do
Seems to rhyme in lines of two.
