old skin and new wine

snow, snow, cold ,cold, go away visit us on a December day.
Bit childish but that's how l feel it is still so cold
In this day and age we are still increasing
child abuse
childhood poverty
old people are dying due to cold
those who have little has increased


I started in youth work in 1985 as a paid professional under the old CDP (community development programme), I was so inexperienced unskilled, little knowledge or understanding
as the eldest of 9 Children l had so much to learn and discover about this position
But l never expected to be facing the same issues around poverty, alcoholic misuse, Children's and youth services so under resourced.
Like a bookend settled on an old shelf these issues never appear to go away.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
