EXCUSES....

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Jan 10, 2022

"It's now time that I told you...why I went so far away..
I had to pack up, and go son...I just couldn't bear to stay...
I really did love your mum....but things were not working out..
and it was better for us all...that I didn't hang about..
I often thought about you son...many times throughout my life..
you stayed my only child...and I never found a wife..
I didn't find true happiness....as my health began to go..
alcohol was my demon...it destroyed me!.....as you now know."
