Wonderful Women
are all around me
from Paula, my wife
to Ella, who's three
There's Sandra, I work with
and Maggie, my friend
Elizabeth, my sister
and Sarah, in Southend
Of course, there's my mother
and Paula's mum, too
and Mary, my aunty
and mum-to-be, Sue
A place here, for Jackie
Asha, India and Karla too
for all I can name
I will mention too few
So, back where I started
and where this now ends
with Wonderful Women
Lover, Family and Friends
