Thursday 16th September is Linda Goffee’s BIRTHDAY. ‘Let’s celebrate’ said Tenniel’s Hatter to Dormouse. ‘Not a word to that Rackham fella!’

Verse 1

Love prompted us, that’s Geoff and me, to seek

In each lovelorn street a gift that will meet,

No less than match, our yearning thoughts to say.

Desire strains to honour you this birthday

Amongst all others, less to praise than silently pace

, (this comma is our excited breath’s space)

Soft and bold steps to your home; sacred place

Verse 2

Gifts might be carried to. Not frankincense nor gold

It delivers, nor even myrrh, for these all grow cold.

For old men’s hearts’ beat, with light joyful lift,

To know that love itself is LINDA’S GIFT.

Love from Geoff & Steve
