Analysis of Seeking Healthy Saughts.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I made a promise to remember
I told my inner calendar
But the days blurred into months
And the months blurred into years
'till pretty soon I realised
Forget I no longer feared
The unripened plum tangy
Had sweetened and hit home
My house was no longer mine
But I was not alone
