Look to the Future

Relax, my child
I know you are having breakdowns
Nerve issues, and anxiety too

But all will be well
Son and daughter will be blessed
Countries will be exchanged

Smart phones will be invented
You will find out soon
What they might be

You will learn to write
Practice some Pilates
Get that body into shape!

New friends will arrive
New people, new lives
New stories to be shared

There will be sad times
There will be happy times
There will be farewells

Sorrow and joy interweaving
Working together for good
Harmonising

You will never be without
Every day you are alive
There will be blessing surrounds

And to help you out
There will be coffee
And to spare

And at night, there will be tea
In mugs reminding you of home
Lovingly painted in Africa by hand

(Zimbabwe actually to be exact
Long story, don’t ask)

Playing with Light!

Strolling along in The heat of the afternoon I look up ahead

Strolling along in
The heat of the afternoon
I look up ahead

Triangle of blue Catches my eye, I would say Sky blue and it is!

Triangle of blue
Catches my eye, I would say
Sky blue and it is!

Further up I look And the blue changes a shade - Growing light, but why?

Further up I look
And the blue changes a shade –
Growing light, but why?

Raise my eyes towards Heaven above, what could be The possible cause?

Raise my eyes towards
Heaven above, what could be
The possible cause?

There it is, I see Most stunning, awesome round ball Vision of pure light

There it is, I see
Most stunning, awesome round ball
Vision of pure light

Shining from above Beaming rays of sunshine warmth Embracing the earth

Shining from above
Beaming rays of sunshine warmth
Embracing the earth

My heart once again Sings out at the miracle Been given to us

My heart once again
Sings out at the miracle
Been given to us

That we would have but A sun as fine as the one  Shining forth today!

That we would have but
A sun as fine as the one
Shining forth today!

Flower Post or Birthday Cake?

The best gift given to me
Is difficult to decide

How would one choose between ‘Flower Post’
Hand delivered to my home address

By a special little girl –
Or would I choose a Home-Baked cake

In the flag of my Home Land as a
Surprise for my birthday in April of this year?

Any ideas – how could one even make a
Choice between these two?

New Day (ten minutes unedited)

A new day has dawned
The morning sun filtering
Delicately into the room
Bringing its version of light
Beckoning me

To awake and to arise
To emerge myself in the day
That would lie ahead
I hear the chirping of birds
Cars driving by

Melodies of creation far and near
Different sounds of nature’s songs
Filling my heart with
A joyful gladness of being alive
On this new day

A precious gift to humankind
And to creation that would us surround
To have a world that we may enjoy
Graciously thought out in its being
Wondrous marvel

My life could be taken today
What would be my parting words
What would I like my testimony to be?
That I was alive and I lived and felt
Gave thanks and loved
