BLUE BELL WOOD
I went out walking
Yesterday down
In blue bell wood
There I saw
A great carpet of
blue
And the fragrance
Filled the air
There where great
Big oak trees with
Acorns
Everywhere down in
Blue bell wood
With birds singing
And church bells
ringing
I just couldn't
ask for more
And as I sat there
In the summer sun
And contemplated
All I saw natures
work
So good
I just wish you
could
Have been there
Down in blue bell
wood
Seen nature at its
very best
Like everybody
Should

TRENCHES
Down in the
trenches
Where fathers
Brothers and sons
All afraid and
frightened
But ready with
their guns
With little food
Or fresh water
everything
Covered in mud
Puddles of muddy
water
And pools of blood
Men shot maimed
And dying
So hard to
comprehend
Brave men gave
there all
Until their bitter
end
We must never
forget
For our freedom
They Died
That's why I am
where I am
My poppy with
Pride

MY ENGLAND
England my England
Steeped in much
history
England my England
Long bows, arrows,
oak trees
England my England
Where people stand
in ore
Of our queen and
country
Soldiers gave
there, lives for
England our
England
Such beauty to see
England, Scotland,
and wales
Mountains,
valleys, and sea
England our
England
Our rose Died
England our
England
Our nation, noted
and cried
England my England
Surrounded by sea
England my England
The land of the
free
