A poem by my niece Saskia Darlington (aged 11)
Remember the cracks of light between the trees.
Remember the Christmas mushy peas.Remember the snowflake floating down in a flurry.
Remember he squirrels collecting nuts in a hurry.Remember the plectrums against the guitar strings.
Remember the persistent microwave ping.Remember the sunset on a summer dawn.
Remember the snow cold ice and rain.Remember the smile when the baby was born.
Remember the sharp cold summer air on your face.
Roger with the young poetess Saskia
