Catching Hold

Yes – love, love

For though we know it pains

Not to denies us the very best of all life’s richest gains.

Yes – hope, hope

For not to sullies days

Which otherwise would profit us in much more fruitful ways.

Yes – give, give

For not to kills us all

Taking can not cure us, nor prevent a fall.

Yes – trust, trust

For not to stifles hope

Making it impossible to give, to love, to cope.

The Legacy

Though I don’t fully understand

I am proud of you;

Though you feel burdened by my expectations;

Despise my authority as having no worth or foundation,

Defy my demands on you as being irrelevant to your world –

Other worldly –

You are so like me.

You, my child are my legacy;

A future for this family;

In my image shaking

A product of my making;

In you I wanted to create

A better version than of late.

International Day of Peace 2016

Doubt and Deceit

Doubt and Deceit were married by Anger

Witnessed by Hurt and Pain.

In guises of reason, they committed high treason 

To enslave honest folk for their gain. 

Patience wed Tolerance by Compassion and Care

So Joy rallies troops on her steed.

Theft is abuse, so this armoury's true use

Is to nurture and to nourish those in need. 

Honesty and Trust were married by Love

Witnessed by Faith and good Hope.

Shining forth to light, by helping all to stay bright

For binding to Harmony's sacred rope. 

Courage honest troops to silence nincompoops

For humanity like Peace wears a veil

Be sturdy and true, cling to valour, (please do)

And Sense will blow Calm to prevail.
