Welcome to my world.  Though..  I didn't see MOST of it coming.

These are a few words and memories from that world. 

I have written them over my recent  years. 

Born 1943 in the old Batley Maternity Home when

bombs over Batley Railway Station were blowing windows through.

Even as far away as Mount Pleasant.  

I do not  fool myself that these are words or works of art.

How could they be?

I'm just a lad from Staincliffe Estate). 

But they are thoughts which swam through the world inside my head                 

on many different occasions.

They are, I can assure you , works of my heart.                                                                     HOME  

Batley lad.  Warwick Mount.  Staincliffe Council Estate. 

St Josephs Batley Carr. St John Fishers. Dewsbury Tech..plus night school.

Hope you like the words and enjoy reading about the times.                                                                                                                      

Hope they move you out of your today to just one small yesterday.                

Poems are personal, so I hope they 're not too much of  a drag .                           

Memories are from back in my  yesterdays in Batley. , West Yorkshire.
