'Bertie (The Liver Bird) Saw It All

entry picture

From The Liver Buildings, up high.

Tears, they drip from Bertie’s eye.

Through the red, foggy haze they fall.

Bertie, our Liver Bird, he saw it all.

Bertie protects our City, as you know.

Now in horror, his tears sadly flow.

Bertie saw the whole incident occur.

Jubilation and cheers, filled the air.

Then the sounds of screams and cries.

Rang out loudly, in the Liverpool skies.

Bertie saw it all, from upon his perch.

Now for the answers, we go in search.

For everyone affected, as one we pray.

While Bertie, wipes more tears away.

A sensitive poem, Mike. Well put. Thank goodness it wasn't worse.
