My personal diary,

Private property.

Each day writing tales,

Tomorrow's memories.

There safely stored

In my little notebook,

For me to refer to,

Whenever I need look.

Empty spaces,

Each day filling one.

Birthdays, anniversaries,

Dates of family fun.

Turn to a date or time maybe,

Remembering names or people to see;

An address to visit,

Appointment to go;

Postcodes, phone numbers

Only I need to know.

My mental recall

Of what's past and gone,

Also days of sadness,

When my feelings were glum.

My keepsake diary,

Solid proof that will last.

Accurate statements

Of my present and past. Mrs Patricia Firth

Kirkebrok Road, Deane, Bolton
