The life force goes on and on
To better worlds beyond the sun
the soul of man in his fleeting way
Passes through the light of day,
To inner depths and endless sky
Dimensions beyond the eye,
In death we live in flesh we die
There's a meeting place for you and I
Free from pain, sorrow and strife
Yes, there is a better life
Through the stars and cosmos to your inner self
All around your heart and soul
Your being yourself control.


The author is now divorced and resides in Crosby. He works as a chef at a restaurant in the area. Anthony Cromly's iron men are encamped just down the road on the beach. He has produced an album/CD and is in the process of recording a second album. A semi-professional singer, he has performed two concerts at the Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool. He has also done two concerts at LIPA for Sense of Sound, also based in Liverpool. His proudest moment was acting and singing in a musical in the Playhouse Liverpool City Centre to a standing ovation, and also at the Dragon Bar, Chinatown. A capella!
His next venture is music school in July with the opportunity to sing at the York minister cathedral, Castle Howard and Whitby Abbey with the Sing Live Company. (Queen Ethelburga's private school near York!) Musical by the rivers!
