The cast iron cot frame stood in the garden At the top left and held the relics of blue Unleaded paint used to cover a girlish pink The mattress disintegrated it contained plants Mother’s cuttings from an extensive garden. The girl now eleven and very thin Sat in a homemade embroidered skirt And played with her unbraided hair Her feet neatly together like a doll A teenage doll from The Pedigree range. The beginning of ******* were forming And insecurities and dissatisfaction open That day in the sun with cousin Hilary Two different specimens of womanhood I only really knew her a short time . Love Mary ***

Contrasts.
The cast iron cot frame stood in the garden At the top left and held the relics of blue Unleaded paint used to cover a girlish pink The mattress disintegrated it contained plants Mother’s cuttings from an extensive garden. The girl now eleven and very thin Sat in a homemade embroidered skirt And played with her unbraided hair Her feet neatly together like a doll A teenage doll from The Pedigree range. The beginning of ******* were forming And insecurities and dissatisfaction open That day in the sun with cousin Hilary Two different specimens of womanhood I only really knew her a short time . Love Mary ***
A beautiful lady from Bridport who died of cancer at 58 In remembrance of cousin Hilary loved and cherished.Cousin Mary ***
