Allow yourself to begin anew (poem)

Allow yourself to begin anew

Allow yourself to begin anew,
Shake off that outdated point of view,
And pluck out those bits that brought to you, only sorrow.

Sweep away those old ideas, like dust,
Clean those dreams that have started to rust.
Open up some space to welcome a new tomorrow.

Let yourself go at a slower pace,
Remembering life is not a race,
That tomorrow will find its own way to where you are.

Pause now and then, reflect for a while,
Remembering what once made you smile,
Find a place where with your memories, you can see far.

What tomorrow brings, you may not know,
But with yesterday, just let it go,
Watch it walk away with the weight of yesterday’s load.

Allow yourself to begin anew,
Prepare yourself for a new life view,
With a light heart, start walking along tomorrow’s road.

Let the celebrations start (poem)

Let the celebrations start

Let the celebrations start,
Let the joy into your heart.
The time has come to relax and have fun.
Whatever is the reason,
Let this become the season,
Where your joy is shared with everyone.

Release the love from within,
Let the happiness begin,
Let your goodness and kindness lead the way.
Whether a stranger or friend,
Your good tidings, you can send,
Share a smile with all those you meet today.

If someone is looking sad,
Of your joy, they may be glad,
Release some of the joy within you now.
Stretch out a hand in friendship,
Of your welcome, let them sip,
If they cannot smile, help them to learn how.

Let us dance around the floor,
Until we can dance no more,
Then sit and laugh at all fun we have found.
Take these good moments and share,
With the others who are there,
Let your happiness be spread all around.

When you have worn yourself out,
From the joy floating about,
Tuck all of those good memories away.
When real life is back again,
Those memories will remain,
There to be enjoyed on a rainy day.

Reflection of puddles (poem)

Reflection of puddles

All those heavy rains have turned nature upon its head.
Some of the treetops can be seen pointing down instead.
Within the reflection of puddles, the world has changed,
The normalities of nature have been rearranged.

An upside-down world can now be seen upon the ground.
Upside-down people on their heads, strolling around.
Ripples from a breeze shaking those reflections about,
But once the breeze passes by, those ripples straighten out.

Reflections within puddles, the sky’s now far below,
Dazzling so brightly when the sun comes back on show.
The suns light bounces, shooting back up into a tree,
Branches usually in the shade, sunlight they now see.

Hills climb the other way, sloping left instead of right,
Upon reaching the puddles edge, vanishing from sight.
The drying of the puddle shrinks this upside-down scene.
The grass restored to where the upside-down world had been.

Hope, Kindness and Love united (poem)

Hope, Kindness and Love united

There is always a way through the thick and the thin.
There is always a path where tomorrow can win.
No matter how much around us is torn apart;
Within each of us, a new tomorrow can start.
Within each of us, we have all that we can need.
We have hope, kindness, and love, with which to succeed.
Deep within ourselves, everyone of these live,
And bringing them all together, lets us forgive.

With hope, comes a torch to show us all that can be,
Bringing light back into our lives, letting us see.
With kindness, you can help others stand up once more;
Help their wounds to heal, to become strong like before.
With love, comes the gift of sharing all in your heart,
Giving to others your love, never more apart.
Hope, kindness and love, each have their own part to play.
Uniting them all, will let the world find its way.
