“Childhood”

Carefree days spent playing,
Hell raising moments that scared parents,
Ideally spent outside even when it was raining,
Lovingly given support from all,
Days spent sick in bed, reading and sleeping
How it was so easy to say, “When I grow up?”
Older seems to be so far away,
Or is it so far, for soon you are a young adult,
Delightful laughter filling the moments of the day.

“Do and Does”

Do you - 
Share your smile with the face in the mirror,
Let the twinkle linger longer, when the moment has gone,  
Cry when there is pain, or hide it,
Take care of yourself and then others,
Live with the wonder of a child exploring,
Give freely of what you have, even if it is a smile,
Love within, then outwardly?

Does –
Pain fade with time,
Drugs help with the feelings,
That soft word, give comfort,
Hugging, relieve that feeling of loss,
Good mornings leave a sense of been thought of,
Love completely, complete the completed,
Sorrow and joy leave with us?

Do for others first we are taught, does charity not start at home?

“Musing”

Listening to the soft sounds of raindrops.
Tolerantly waiting for the signal to move.
Never feeling so energised as now.
Endearing my thoughts to those that are in need.
Till the next moment finds me.
I am who I am and am content.
Though looking the window pane I do wonder.
Is longing for more, more a distraction.
Throughout the short time we are here,
Is it heavenly enough for us?
Or do we so wish for the earth to move us instead of us moving?
In an eternity of self, what is this one moment of musing?
Never turn away from those moments of self’s expression.
Death of one moment means the birth of a new one.
In a moment with a twinkle in the eye and that upward crease of a smile.
Rejoiced with inner light and celebrated internally.
Fiery spread with the single thought of sharing.
Loving is such an amazing manifestation to keep safe till shared.
