Prayers
For
Home And
City
For over 30 years I have lived in my home City by the sea. As a kid I came here for holidays and dreamed of living here. I can think of no greater joy than living in a place of ones choosing.
A Blessing for Our City
This is a city of wisdom and frivolity
The wise venerate the frivolous
The frivolous ignore the wise
Let us bless our nannies
Grannies and lanes…
Our fanfares and festivals
Smart seagulls
Motley hotels
Let us bless
Our buckets and spades –
Though we got no sand
Instead pebbles and angels
A rebel’s Royal Palace
Dreamt up by a fat prince
All praise to our fun pier
And fluffy pink floss
Our fading pier of dross
Joyrides and laughter
Martha Gunn and after
And the sun
The sun reminds us
We are blessed
So blessed
For this…
Is a City of angels
