I wished for poetry
A line or two
He said
I will not write for you
I replied
I will write for you
I wrote
Until
There were no words left
And my fingers bled
He stayed true
And did not write for me

All joys this earth could bring
The depths of endless sea
Wind in sheltering trees
Could never separate
Thy child from Thy grace
I feel Thy presence
Surrounding me
Whispering
I am protected
I am loved
Safe, at
Peace

Wow, this is really a sight to behold! My eyes this morning opened to a sight that told me I really do love clutter. It makes me feel warm and cosy. Look at this collection next to my bed. South African chocolate, body lotion, foot balm because we love well-cared-for feet, mini-tub of Zambuk (South African ointment for dry lips), trinket boxes that hold my wedding rings when I’m asleep, Mum ornament because I’m a Mum, cards, headache tablets – my last few from South Africa – the only ones that work for me so are being rationed, coffee mug edging in on the right, a beaded necklace that I wear in summer, a box of tissues for my allergies, yup, this is me in a nutshell.
I woke up this morning to the birds singing their morning song. I never realized I missed them until I heard them again this morning. The birds are singing, and I’m home!



I’ve worked my way through all of 4 movies on the flight home. Omigosh is Sisters hilarious. Like you can’t help yourself laughing it is so slapstick funny. And the first scent walking through security is the strong smell of brewed coffee. Yes, please!
