Take a moment to smile (poem)

Take a moment to smile

Take a moment to smile, just here in this place,
And after a while, it will cheer up your face.
Now spread it around for anyone to see,
Let it be easily found by others, for free!

If your smile finds another, that it can reach out to,
Then you can help each other, on this day, to get through.
For a smile will bring hope, in those times of great sorrow,
Helping us to cope and find a better tomorrow.

Take a moment to smile, let it enter within,
When facing a sad trial, it will help you to win.
It will lighten your load, releasing your sadness,
Brightening up life’s road, with a touch of gladness.

For a smile can help all, both inside and out,
Gives us strength to stand tall, helps us to tackle our doubt.
If it is too hard to do, just go for a grin,
Then let it seep through you, and your smile will begin.

An Extra Day! (poem)

An Extra Day!

An extra day! And one that was never planned to be.
So, by good fortune, I just happen to have it free.
What shall I make of it? For there is so much I could do.
So much that I could explore, before this day is through.

As this day begins, I have no place that I must go,
So, if I wanted to, I could just watch the garden grow,
Sit back, take it easy… Or shall I go out for a walk?
Seek the company of friends and find a place we can talk.

Perhaps there’s somewhere I could go, help out for the day,
And make this world a better place, in some special way.
I know that within me, I have some skills that I can share,
So maybe have a day, where I show the world that I care.

Let this day end in a better place than at the start,
Let this day end with knowing I have given it my heart.
That whether I was busy, calm, alone or with friends,
Peace I did find, and happiness is there when it ends.

Hugs, hearts and rainbows (short poems)

Hugs, hearts and rainbows

Accepting a hug

Accept a hug in joyfulness,
Let it wrap you in its loving embrace.
Let it pass on its happiness,
And set a smile upon your face.

Beginning with the heart

When something new,
Comes into your view,
It can bring uncertainty on where to start.
Just look within,
On where to begin,
For the best guide is your own loving heart.

Life’s inner rainbow

Life’s inner rainbow comes in many shades and hues,
Within every part of us these colours do dwell.
So whenever you feel you are just living in the blues,
Glance around, for the other colours are there as well.

Nature’s Midsummer Music (poem)

Nature’s Midsummer Music

The Robin calls as sunrise begins,
Announcing that it is getting light.
Silence fades as every bird sings,
Their dawn chorus chases the night.

The Red Kite flies smoothly above,
Crying out as it watches below.
In the garden lands a Collard Dove,
Cooing as it walks to and fro.

The Swallows can be heard up high,
In the warmth of the afternoon.
Swiftly they zoom across the sky,
Singing out loud their high-pitch tune.

Sparrows are chattering in the tree,
Before they descend onto the ground.
Hopping all around the lawn to see,
What seeds and insects can be found.

The Nightingale calls as sunset nears,
The birds start to settle for the night.
But the Barn Owl hoots as it appears,
Opening its wings and taking flight.
