Can someone help me find...

[Raven]

A poem about heaven. There is a mother with wheat coloured hair, who is 23. the father is 25. the dog is 2. she pours milk out of a hp bottle, with a screw of paper for a cork.

I can't remember any more. does anyone know what its called or who its by?

((feel free to post your own requests here))

I did not know the answer to your question, Raven, but, for some strange reason (perhaps out of boredom), I felt like performing much research to find it.
Beautiful poem; I had never read it, until now.

Eden Rock

They are waiting for me somewhere beyond Eden Rock:
My father, twenty-five, in the same suit
Of Genuine Irish Tweed, his terrier Jack
Still two years old and trembling at his feet.

My mother, twenty-three, in a sprigged dress
Drawn at the waist, ribbon in her straw hat,
Has spread the stiff white cloth over the grass.
Her hair, the colour of wheat, takes on the light.

She pours tea from a Thermos, the milk straight
From an old H.P. sauce-bottle, a screw
Of paper for a cork; slowly sets out
The same three plates, the tin cups painted blue.

The sky whitens as if lit by three suns.
My mother shades her eyes and looks my way
Over the drifted stream. My father spins
A stone along the water. Leisurely,
They beckon to me from the other bank.
I hear them call, 'See where the stream-path is!
Crossing is not as hard as you might think.'

I had not thought that it would be like this.

Wow, Raven, thank you for directing me toward this poet. I found a site containing more of his work, and I love it!

thank you mono! I only found it because I was bored and watching a poetry programme on channel four ((for children's education, as it so happens!))
