YESTERYEAR

Yesteryear

I consulted with my patients near

Now they seldom in my room appear

Oh I believe in yesteryear

.

Suddenly

It’s not half the job it used to be

With a plastic apron wrapped round me

Oh yesteryear went suddenly

.

Why it had to go

I well know, it’s all too clear

Something went so wrong,

Now I long for yesteryear

.

Yesteryear

Life could simply be so full of cheer

Now so many folk just live in fear

Oh I believe in yesteryear

.

Why it had to go

I well know, it’s all too clear

Something went so wrong

Now I long for yesteryear

.

Yesteryear

Work was something that I once held dear

Now I sometimes find I shed a tear

Oh I believe in yesteryear

Mm mm mm mm mm mm

.

After John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Nothing particularly interesting to say about myself other than after 27 years working as a GP, I was delighted, at the start of December 2023, to start work as the South West Regional Representative of the Slavic Gospel Association (SGA). You can read about what they do at sga.org.uk. I am also an avid Somerset County Cricket Club supporter and a poor example of a Christian who likes to put finger to keyboard from time to time and who is foolish enough to think that someone out there might be interested enough to read what I've written. Some of these blogs have grown over time and some portions of earlier blogs reappear in slightly different forms in later blogs. I apologise for the repetition. If you are involved in a church in the southwest of England and would like to hear more of SGA’s work, do get in touch. I’d love to come and talk a little, or even a lot, about what they get up to!.
