I see I never wrote anything to go with this painting here well there was a poem written at the time by hand. I now feel able in 2017 to put the words together with this painting where they belong. It was written in 2013.

                 FROM THE CORRIDOR OF MY MIND

The train swishes on
People with baggage
My heavy tears
Fall into
The paper cup
The cup that
Cheers me not
Memory plays
Through my head
An old crackly record
Bright eyes, long pointy fingers
Full of life, hope, promise
Brilliant, sharp, shiny, mind
Making her own music
Making her own images
Creating her own dreams
Her hand in mine
Brings love never ending
Soft silky down on her head
She responds to a Mothers love
As I stroke her head
I cannot heal her this time
She is gone

Always remembered as I carry you in my heart -----My Shooting Star xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx----------
