If I had the Power (the original version)
|
Compiled form the Poem "If I had the Power" with old photos of Wakefield and one or two of my Family and me. The poem was shared by a Friend on Facebook and I decided to put local photos to the words. This was a moment in my life when My Mum, a Dress Maker, Sunday School Teacher, Guide Leader and Amateur Dramatic Performer, (who grew up in Lupset) was losing her fight with Dementia. This video is a later version of the original and has since gone on and inspired others to do the same.
