Englishman In Greece

In Autumn of his life Sits in his courtyard in Athens Yard surrounded by bushes With his three cats Enjoying splendour of the evening. Thinks of his homeland England's emerald Isle set in turquoise sea Blue bell woods, wildlife and rain Majestic countryside beyond compare And misses British savoury pies. Thoughts takes him back to childhood Sitting with parents and older brother John With Lucy the spaniel petted by mum Knock on the door and blind Grandad enters Love so precious abides for the family. Lord Mike, father and grandfather, smiles Heart British and Greek Christian soul loved by family and friends Favourite singer Roy Orbison And readily follows teaching of Jesus Christ.
