Now I know I begged for stale food Now I know I played with friends for their tea Now I know why the gutter was my friend Now I know, I was me Now I know my playground Now I know the lorries there Now I know why no home Called me until it thought it should care Now I know what was hunger Now I know what was boredom Now I know why I hate the rain Now I know why we stole the toys Now I know why we lived Now I know why my brother cant Now I know why my mother Is frightened of my brother And they both drank to recant We somehow with luck progressed My brother now a hopeless injured drunk My mother in a secure home And myself still trying to know my life Now I know what tears mean Now I know what fear means Now I have no more excuses I remember and know me And with me I must live |

Dave, with age comes wisdom so some say. We only lived what we were taught. Now, we can teach ourselves anew. Indeed we can. Have a wonderful New Year. I don't always comment on your writings, but I do read them. You write what you truly feel and I commend you for this. hugs, Chris |

Now I know, I was me ~*~ And in knowing, you are already better on the odds... Happy New Year, Dave! |

Another part of my life Circle Trust in South London and Camberwell Green I want at this point to pay something I never had the chance to say to Peter Dickinson. Thanks for everything you did Peter. Gunter and I raised the cash but without you we wouldn't have had the chance. Dave |

Screw up Dave Ward and backers was Camberwell Peter Dickinson was Notting Hill and Gunter was a Senior Probation Officer from Notting Hill. People are live today because of what happened in a meeting in Camberwell and alive today for Peter's efforts in Notting Hill Gate. Dave |

This poem makes one think about many things. Now I find myself reflecting on many events in my life tonight, trying to see the me in them and make sense of it all. Happy New Year, Dave. |
