Month: April 2021

Morning Has Broken,
The Promise of Another Day
We Are Not Broken,Just Bent Out Of Shape
We Have Been Twisted,
Spun,Tossed Around
Not Knowing Which Way Was Up Or Down
Where And How To Land,
Where Was The Ground Beneath Our Feet
In Eirinn’s Land
To Be Solid, Safe, Home
Terra Firma All Around
We Long For The Familiar
The Family, Friends Their Touch,Arms Linked,Entwined
Hearts Meet, Skip A Beat
Where To From Here We Ask
All In Good Time As We Hope That All That Has Gone Before
Is Coming To An End
And It Is Safe Once More
To Leave The Familiarity At Our Door
And Join Our Families And Friends Once More
Celebrations Of Life
For Those Who Have Come, And Gone
Have Been Put On Hold,On Pause
We Need To Celebrate
We Need To Applaud
To Remember Those We Have Lost
And Welcome Those Who Chose To Come In 2020/2021
To Bring Life, Love And Light Into The World
Their Journey Just Begun
Into A Very Different World Order
That Has Been Known For Such A Short Time By One And All
The Circle Of Life,From Cradle To Grave
We Have Learned Not To Take It For Granted
All The Days We Have,We Now Crave
Where To From Here
The Present,The Gift We Hold
We Will Have Plenty Of Time,
Of Ways Our Stories Will Be Told To Future Generations
Of How We Lived,Survived Thrived Through These Troubled Times
When Our Main Goal From An Unseen Deadly Enemy, But Felt By Far Too Many
Was To Survive
And Our Actions,Our Needs And Our Deeds
Were Purely To Keep Each Other Alive

A Time Of Reflection
A Time Of Death, Rebirth,Renewal, Resurrection
The World,Our World Has Now Changed Beyond Recognition
Beyond Understanding And Comprehension
A Ray Of Real Hope,A Guiding Light
Now Shines Through
But We Know What We Still Have To Do
As Our Vaccine Programs Are Being Ramped Up,Rolled Out By A Wonderful Crew
An Easter “Gift “To Our Elderly And Those Who Are At Most Risk
Of Catching This Deadly Disease That Now Lives Within Our Mist
A Time To Reflect On This Unprecedented Year Passed
How We Have Stood Firm Together
Hope In Our Hearts At Last
Against An Enemy, Unseen But Touched By Too Many
In The Face Of Adversity
We Stood The Test Of Time
But Now We Have Had Enough
We Are Exhausted In Body,Mind And Soul
We Need To Let Our Hair Down
What’s Called For, Is A Night On The Town
The Jerusalema Challenge Had Arrived At Our Door
To Remind Us Of Our Fun Resilience side
We Hold Inside
To Express Through Movement,Dance,
Having A Laugh
Our Determination To Stay Strong
When All Looks And Feels So Wrong
A Challenge Thrown Out To Us All
Even If We Are Old Young Or Not That Strong
To Connect Us Worldwide In A Fun Way
To Lighten Our Load,A Few Minutes Of Joy
To Help Us Forget For A Little While When All In The World Seems So Out Of Step,Out Of Rhythm
We Are Educated Consumers Of Goods, Services
Know Our Personal And Political Rights
Treat Us As So
We Will Not Go Gently Into The Night
In A Democracy The Majority Rules
In A Pandemic It Is Proving That The Minority Act Like Fools,Break The Rules
We Care, Show You Care
Act As If You Care
We Need To Know That You Are There
Stay Home,Do What’s Right This Bank Holiday Weekend
Act Not As One But For The Many In And Out Of Sight
The Risks You Choose To Take
Do Not Affect Only You
But Those Of Us Who Are Struggling, Muddling Through.
