Lesley Bates Poems

So Summer is here, please be glad
Though wind and rain makes you mad
It brings you sunshine, brings you light
Think of children, their thrills of delight!
...

What mending do you have to do, a woman asked of me
One thing that needs a stitch – perhaps there’s even three
What mending asked the woman again, making it quite plain
That there were more than three things and shirking would not gain.
