A Quickie

My protective bubble
Shields me from trouble
Floating free
Over the sea
I’m so happy

This poem was written at 5.30am when I couldn't sleep - I had monumental decisions to make toady and it all went so well. I really do feel protected and I'm so happy today its quite a bizarre situation to be in! Hugs as ever Jan xxx
