From Pad To Verse
(A Pot Pourri Of Poems)
By Pat Taylor
The Authoress, born in Bristol – now
living in Staffordshire, describes herself as a cross between Pam Eyres and
Spike Milligan (poetry –wise, not in looks!)
Like Pam, Pat started work at 16 in the Civil Service, but in more recent years
has become a Teaching Assistant.
Pat has two 6 foot sons and a loving husband.
She intends staying young forever and growing old disgracefully.
In her own words “Stay young, occasionally act your shoe size and live for
today!”
Dedication

Tonight
I saw a shooting star
It took me by surprise
A brighter light I've never seen
Blazed across the skies
It
triggered off so many thoughts
Some happy, some are sad
I remembered the stars that had gone before me
My Mum, my Sister, my Dad
Then
I had another thought as I watched
This celestial gem
Did the Three Wise Men see a similar star
Long
ago in Bethlehem?
