torch shone so brightly
as I lay under bed quilt
reading beano book

I read every line
checking out every picture
gnasher was my fav

I remember feel
of soft flannelette sheets
touching my young skin

when morning arrived
the bright sun seep through window
putting on live show

I watch wallpaper
come alive like orange sun
ready to start day

nanny shared a room
with me and sis , she snored like
a fierce lawn mower

her third set of teeth
slept in fizzy beaker cup
her gurney smile smiled

every morning she
got up early to catch bus
to take her to work

she smelled of freshly
grown spring flowers that lingered
joyfully all day

she was my summer
all year round , her flowery
frocks cute as petals

a tea lady she
was , poured tea all day long from
her golden trolley

appreciation
felt from every given cup
of tea  , wet lips smiled

her chocolate hair wrapped
neatly in hair net , her sweet
cleanliness top form

but soon she would be
replaced by vending machines
technogly bloomed  

to me she was my
best friend , she gave me tiny
wings to practice on

once in a while
her memory steps forward
making me sing loud

She left me a love
full of happiness which still
glows brightly today
