liverpool holds dreams
by
When i was a girl, growing up in Liverpool I had my Nan to thank for all the wonderful stories she told me about this magical place, Liverpool....The doc's were my grandad worked and the talley man.....how they had to do things to get on in those days all were stories i will never forget.
But Liverpool holds my story,i am a single mum bringing up three girls, iv lived in all the toughest parts of Liverpool.
I have memories of the toffee, i smelt in bottle....the derelict buildings that bloked out the light and windows nearly falling on my head.
I have memories of crosby beach the smell of salt, playing in the water and watching a terd floating towards me....it's cleaning it's self up now to become tourist attraction....and so it should ....full of talent ...full of fun....liverpool city football is run....laughter and jokes, my loosy smokes, one day you'l see my friend....Liverpool will defend and always be on the map.....for part of the country you depended....when Liverpool never takes a nap....
The doc's should never be forgottern as one of the country's biggest ever shipping DOC'S through out the war and before it.....
Im an artist and my dream would be to have several sculptures faceing out on the meresy under the peirhead buildings showing the faces of Liverpool just like the 'moi' statues on christams Islands...
Are they a warning or are they the truth of the people that say hello to me every day.
I LOVE LIVERPOOL....PROUD TO BE SCOUSE
