I was born in Scotland and brought up in Pinner England.

My mother was a milkmaid and a tailoress also highly educated, her father had village shop he made many things he was the architect and benefactor of St. Joseph's Church, all McGoverns are christened there still. All are musical and singers. Two famous poets on my mothers side and one on my fathers side of long ago. I love writing poetry and I wrote a few stories I could write plenty but I don't want to. I have six manuscripts on theosophy and one hundred spiritual teaching also a mythological adventure in poetic style, a love story and 2 children's stories.

 

My Dream World

If my dream world must sweeter be
Then let my dreaming be of thee'
O'h kindred love and kiss of bee'
As it flutters round the blossomed tree
A silent love that in one moments flight
Stilled my beating heart in sighing plight
To stir emotions thro' the sleeping night
And awaken passions fruit to my hearts delight
By the air of it's operatic recited play
to reminiscent moments thro' the day
Bringing to life this dreams realistic sway
So that I belong there! either way
In seclusive mind my thoughts are deeds begun
Entwining by the threads of love to bind as one
So let my dream escape it's lonely sea
To set it free' for all I need is thee
If my dream world must sweeter be
Then let my dreaming be! with thee'.
