My dad walked back from church with the second Sholley this morning -
He asked for it himself - you go with Pegs he said - you go and help her -
My mum pushed her sholley across Boundary Road -
Behind tall hedges were former council houses -
Signs on doors warned of German Shepherds -
I'd waited for my mum and and dad outside the church -
The bearded priest had smiled and shaken my hand - God bless you he'd said -
I'd heard the choir sing - the bells had rung in the tower -
Once my dad had sailed across oceans - now his world was bounded by Saint Faiths Church and The Prince of Wales -
