Reasons to be Cheerful

Some of this

Less of that

Fear of few

Love of lots

Plenty to give

Thankful to receive 

Words that build

Ears that listen

Hearts that sing

Those who laugh

Hands that help

Spirits that soar

Colours that matter

Differences that don’t

Friendship to warm

Music to soothe

Places to see

Those I’ve seen

Paths that meander

The Wave

Somewhere out there it begins –

And the environment sustains its growth,

Always supporting, sometimes calming.

It rises, tall as a mountain poppy,

Tossing its head in the offshore breeze –

Until dashing itself to pieces

Upon the callous, unforgiving shore…

Hold my hand, I’m cold.
