For Jennifer!!!

Discarded!!

After many miles,
Traipsing, trampling, trespassing –
Black slippers retired!

Help!!!

Tears…..

She wore a veil of loneliness
That smarted every eye;
Her furtive smile betrayed despair,
Her gestures pain belie –
Such suff’ring all decry!

The gentle touch of kindness hand
Fuels embers in her heart;
Into her being’s hinterland
Spread flames, hope to impart –
Distress, anon depart!

Anxious Moments…

Take Cover!

As shadows lengthen on the beach
And Winter beaks his bite,
The vulnerable for woollies reach,
And fragile soon takes flight –
To flee approaching night!

Unwise!

Stay Warm!

Summer is long gone,
Winter makes her presence felt,
Folly turns his back.

A Child’s Response!

Voice of Innocence

In humble gratitude replete,
The beggar bowed his head,
The little girl stretched on her feet
And hugged the man instead –
Her mum a teardrop shed!
