Our Journeys

Summer 2015 —

You ask how the summer goes
And it wasn’t a holiday
A chance to see how life goes
In Liverpool, UK

This is my friend
From six months ago
Met on FB
The place to go

28 
And wants to bring peace
to a world going crazy
won't you help her please

This is her second
The first at 26
Went to be by her
As “next of kin”

It was a mission
Don’t know why or how
The successful surgery
Is what I’m thankful for, now

Sometimes in life
You’ve got to listen to your heart
Never know what it'll tell you
From the universe at large

When the time comes for you
I’m sure you’ll do the same
Make a difference to someone
No matter what age or race

The world needs peace
How to give it I say?
Sometime it’s the little things-
you do, and not what you say 

Although it is important
To show kindness some way
You have to be ready
So listen to your heart on that day

This is my friend
She’s all good to go...
Not expecting a next
Only the universe will know

Listen to your heart
May be you'll be called
Be ready,
Just in case, I wont be around

The circle of life 
Is a strange thing you know
no start, no finish
just a journey we don’t know

Truly from the heart, the lines are pure, The feeling is magic. Death comes for us all at the end, and when is the end? I too, ignorant. Last but one stanza, forboding, quietly announces the coming of death. Thanks for sharing. Reaches deep into the heart.
