John's Bench 

 

Within the sight of Clevedon
And overlooking lake
Where Noelle took to water
As John his ease would take
His birthplace bathed in sunshine
Newspaper in his hand
His family settled, happy
He knew that life was grand
His bench now marked forever
A plaque recording days
Looking 'cross the seafront
His town before his gaze.
