2nd of July 2014, what a day it as been
All friends turning up, living the dream
Of our days in St Ann's before demolition
Why ? didn't they spend money on modernization
All of the Gathering were saying the same
Why we all had to move, it was such a shame
Different areas beckoned us, some moved abroad
Australia, Canada, America, taking memories to hoard
Phone calls Skype, and FaceBook, we've become big fans
It keeps folks up to date with the life "we had in St Ann's "
If we had to write a letter (From ) dear St Ann's
it would be to the planners, who just didn't understand!
We'd say what about our neighbours and children
We hope we all remain friends
You know the older folk / on kids they'd depend
We'd all run errands, where we came from
Now no close neighbours...or streets like we played on
TODAY the photos, the friends, the streets,
Oh how we've reminisced
Repetitive chatter about what we missed
1970----That's over 40 years ago
So many at this Gathering today
we've all been back in time
To relive our yesterdays
Thanks x what a shame so many people couldn't make it
see you next year
