A hand reached out in time of need, Like rain in time of drought. Fingers interlaced, accede, Like a bud that blooms from planted seed. A hand reached out, come what may, Empathy one need not borrow. Transfixed, like hand in glove, to stay, Ne’er for this love, in time, away. A hand reached out, no […]

side by side
The World reached out its hands to Accept those of less fortune in it. The bridge provided passage to Cater for the huddled masses. They came from far, They came from wide, To beat the rising tide. With humility and honour Climbing the mountain, side by side. A borrower nor a lender be Espouse belief […]
the Fire Chief…
The Fire Chief relaxed As he sat down in his chair He’d just come home from watching his son play soccer “I can’t believe it,” he cried aloud, with a touch of flair “My bloody son has had another shocker.” “That boy,” he said, “I trained him, Took him up the park To play, and kick, […]
freedom
Freedom stood upon the mountain top, to view the rising sun, That day he felt happy walking tall and straight. The sun brought warmth to the travails of His fight, A fight He’d surely ne’er for granted take. Freedom looked down toward the villagers. Within their village many roamed carefree. But unlike Freedom, they were unaware What they […]
Oh ye
Oh ye of little faith Where has hope gone? A smile doth be lost Now only wan. Is that all ye can stir This full, bright day? There must be more whence it came To satisfy one’s love, come what may. For without belief one’s hope is lost for good Forever, now one’s faith be […]

Life’s been full of challenges We’ve settled for what’s expected, Whilst we hope our future brings belief In special things, reflected. The wonders of a world unknown, The emotion of a feeling grown, The excitement of achievement sown. These are but some […]
‘Just’
“Hi honey, it’s just me.” Meaning “it’s only me.” This is the context within which we so often use the word ‘just,’ especially when talking to our loved ones. The more familiar you are with one another and the closer you are emotionally to the person to whom you’re talking, the more likely you’ll add the word […]
the eyes of man
What do we see through the eyes of man? The sun shining bright on a summer’s day Or the dark grey storm-clouds of winter? What do we see through the eyes of man? The beauty of youth in a red dress Or the empathy of ageing in a wheelchair? What do we see through the […]
reaching out
I’ll reach out to you tomorrow and discuss the specifics. This came via e-mail from a business associate a few days ago. It wasn’t the first time. In fact, it’s been occurring regularly, almost as often as I take my morning walks. I reached out to Andrew and he was able to advise of the […]
dream…
I found myself in a kind of trance, a daze, a dream. It began with a reflection on the night before, which now seemed distant, a vague memory of debauchery and mayhem. I’d survived it without even an alcohol-induced stupor, though if memory served, others hadn’t been so lucky. The driver seemed lucid enough but our […]
