My mum watches children playing cricket in the park ...



I took my mum to the park this morning -

It was Anne's idea - they're not going to church she said - they'll get restless

My dad said he preferred Canon Brown to the new vicar - 

When I went round to see him he told us - Canon Brown always offered me a glass

My mum sat in the front passenger seat of the Golf - 

I drove as if she were made of sparrows' bones - 

In the park, we watched children playing cricket -

My mum's eyes shone -

Look at them she said - the little ones - 

We sat under the trees - I held her hand -

Birds sang - 

The bright sun moved across the sky -
