CHURCH
by ray finch
To Mellor church to see Mum and Dad
Yes whenever I go I feel so sad
But on this another bright summers day
I slowly walk to where they lay
I get to the church then turn the corner and see
All Greater Manchester looking back at me
As I look towards my right
The hills of Yorkshire what a beautiful sight
Then I look left and everything pales
There before me, the stunning green hills of Wales
I’m so lucky to have this view
Whenever I come to visit you
The flowers I lay shine so bright
As they bask in your glowing guiding light
The light I have and will always follow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
So till I come again I will now say goodbye
And blow you a kiss with a tear in my eye

Good write F.
In some churches, it depends how much 'ritual' and formality we may or may not like.
In some places it's just 'messing about with ritual' I think, where some overdo it.
Thank you so much for your comments
I'm easy going with the ritual I just go along to pay respect in a casual way
Sounds like a very beautiful place, like God's smiling down on the church, sorry about your parents
Thank you 🙂
Yes its a lovely church with truly stunning Views, you can spend hours there just sitting and chilling out
From the website
'The church contains the oldest wooden pulpit in England and a late 12th-century Norman font'.
I know a church at the top of a hill, looks a bit like this one. There are great views there too.
