Good morning,
I’ve been unable to blog for a few weeks because of WordPress problems. Thanks to my friend Ray McNally, I think I am back in business.
My dear friend Robin Jones sent me this poem at the end of October. A good message for the times. Worthy of sharing.
Fingers crossed, I’m pushing ‘publish! Michael
Rainy Day in October
by Robin Jones
When I think of the wonderful things in my life
That happens to me every day
I look in the mirror that hangs by my bed
And bow my bald head and I pray
Thank you dear friends for giving me strength
To rise up each morn and feel blessed
To relish each minute like it were the last
So my body feels clean and caressed
I’m thankful for having the time of my life
To pursue any action I wish
Be it art, or cooking, or writing a poem
Or enjoying a finely cooked fish
It’s taken some time to feel like I do
Every action I take suits me fine
Reclining in bed from dusk until dawn
Is like drinking a fine vintage wine
I love how my friends never think that it’s odd
That I call them and say that I care
They enjoy the small banter we have on the phone
With old memories, we both love to share
It has taken some time to get to this stage
Where I feel so secure in my soul
And I give what I can to those that I love
So we both will end up feeling whole
This marvellous world is my oyster
Each of you is the pearl found inside
My heart is brimming with love for you all
I’m so glad I’m along for the ride.
Robin Jones
