Clients at the Centre along with Christine from the Arts Encounter programme from Island Art Centre made the poem about the Centre:
We love the Beeches
It’s the place to be
To catch up with friends
Where we can be creative and free
To think …..about, what we love, who we love, what we want to be.
To play …. The mouth organ
To play the piano like Phil Coulter
Or sing, a song ….about birds in the trees
Or waves crashing, us splashing into the sea
Now don’t break my heart, my achy, breaky heart
For we’re keeping her country!
I love country music,
Its rock and roll for me
I love the sound of the 80’s
Because I am the dancing queen, you see.
Well I like driving in my car
With my engine roaring…
Where would you like to go my lady?
To Golf links B&B or
Newcastle with yellow daffodils on your knee?
Don’t talk to me about travelling
I’d rather be home in bed
Because I’m a sleepy head that’s what
My mammy says to me
I love
The smell of soda farls
And sizzling sausages and a big cup of tea
No coffee
I love the smell of coffee, perfume, baby powder, fresh cut grass
No that’s not for me
Id rather a steak Sunday dinner
Now that would be yummy
We love the Beeches
It’s the place to be
To catch up with friends
Where we can be creative and free.
