I lived a little broken
like an old grey bag of bones
and despite the life around me
felt a long, long way from home
Abandoned to no purpose
each day was like the rest
and although the sun gave promise
it felt like second best
But then a spark ignited
and a new fire took a hold
Inspiring and uplifting it
removed me from the cold
Brought me back into the warmth
when the sun is always new
and never second rated
with each new sunbeam view
Reminded me I’m special
as we each are, every one
even though from time to time
we all have days of glum
For the sunshine is a constant
with a sparkle every day
mending all the broken thing
in every single way
So even when I’m broken
like an old grey bag of bones
the sunshine is reminder
that I’m never on my own
As it is a shining beacon
to full purpose and to zest
consistently with promise
to in each of us invest

Sitting here in quiet
by my window to the world
I’m high enough too watch
things down below unfurled
It’s peaceful here, cathartic
so with pen my words they flow
and occasionally I’ll take a look
outside my world window
Sometimes there will be a car
more often someone walking
single or together though
it’s hard to hear the talking
I do hear sounds of traffic
and the birdsong on the line
from the telegraph across the way
to border on sublime
All this adds to inspiration
which I get from sitting here
by my window to the world with
the world song loud and clear

We lost the baby Jesus
for several years one time
‘Til Emily found him in a vase
one Spring, so now it’s fine
The nativity is whole once more
so at Christmas time each year
It finds its home upon the shelf
to bring its festive cheer
Its history helps keep alive
with provenance that tale
of the baby Jesus lost and found
which we each year regale

Sleeping
Underneath a
Nice
Duvet
Awaken early?
You wouldn’t, would you?
