Chester, you have blessed us,
Not just with your pretty authenticity
But your hospitality and generosity
We will miss your convenience across the cobbles
Only a walk away
Of every possible frill and wonder
Along with a once round the sturdy walls after an evening meal
We knew it would only be for a time
But as with life
Could not assign – to be exact
Deanery Cottage
Thank you for your comfort and culture
You kept us safely cushioned and cocooned through a curious moment
When everything shutdown and the garden bloomed
We learned different birds’ songs while the streets stayed silent
You watched our teens transition into fully fledged adult flight
(Most of them)
We loved this gentle place
