Island Dreams

This is a poem written by a student during their summer break which captures feelings many of us have felt during this summer of sporting endevour  and achievement.

I dream of lush green valleys,

Of a patchwork of quilted land,

I dream of Kings and Queens

And of a booming brass band

I dream of scoffing fish and chips,

When gazing out to sea,

I dream of gorging on scones and jam,

Washed down with a cup of tea.

I dream of queuing endlessly,

To enter a stately home,

I dream of immense castles, magnificent and proud,

Of valiant knights protected while I roam.

I dream of fine Olympians,

Sweating blood and lots of tears,

I dream of one Community,

And our pride for years and years.

I dream of a glorious heritage,

With an amazing sense of pride,

I dream of the Union Jack,

Billowing mightily over the countryside.

I dream of this spectacular Island,

Of all that has gone before,

I dream of my Great Britain,

Why would anyone ask for more?
