My visits to London always bring me cheer; <br />I wish it were possible to bottle the atmosphere. <br />I would collect together all the sights and sounds, <br />And surround myself with them, when I’m down. <br /> <br />A trip to London always seems to lift my mood; <br />By good old London town, I’m easily wooed. <br />There is always something new and exciting, <br />Which is why, to me, London seems so inviting. <br /> <br />I may begin a day feeling just a little bit down, <br />But once in London, a smile replaces my frown. <br />It’s one of my very favourite places to be; <br />There’s always so much to do and to see. <br /> <br />I think that London is such an amazing place; <br />It can suit all your needs, whatever your pace. <br />In central London, people are always in a rush, <br />But in the gardens and parks, can be found, hush. <br /> <br />When in London, I always feel on such a high; <br />My problems, for the day, I can kiss goodbye. <br />At the end of the day, I don’t want to leave. <br />The heady mix of aromas, I love to breathe. <br /> <br />I always find it so very hard, to pull myself away, <br />When, deep in my heart, I desperately want to stay. <br />Even when, at Waterloo, I’m sat on my train; <br />In London, a little piece of my heart remains.<br /><br />Angela Wybrow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/london-18/
