and a happy new year

Yes, It's been fairly slow in work today...and I have had time to look over all the work I published in the past. Sadly, despite my hope for a huge, 'ready-written' stock of work, there was not much worth posting here...What follows is my attempt to make people consider renewal and, take a cup of Kindness, an’ all that. It follows on from the Christmas message you can read here;

Now we think,
Over a drink,
After the excess of festivity,
And the celebration of the nativity,
Not how can we be more,
But rather, how can I get more,
Sure,
That’s a way of thinking,
And whilst drinking,
It seems the right way. I mean to say,
There’s nothing wrong with it, hey,
I'm just trying to make life nicer, for me and mine,
In these hard times,
There’s a line we all draw,
Just to be sure,
That behind our door, no-one feels poor.
And go on, in this way,
Convinced there's no piper to pay,
‘Cause who’s to say, that there will even be a judgement day.
Perhaps it don’t work that way.

What if? while I’m giving to the needy.
No-one, my good deed, did see,
Does this go against me?
And those who are greedy,
Who enjoy all things seedy,
It seems that they have all the answers,
So they take the chances,
And dance the dances,
‘Cos life is for living,
Regret is just giving you grief,
And that’s beyond belief,
That you do it to yourself,
When so many others,
Including many mothers,
Are more than able,
To tell the fable,
Of your shortfall,
Your warts and all,
And to put you down,
But why do you frown?
It’s not necessary for you to feel sad,
You are not bad,
It’s the world that’s messed up. True?
But don’t forget God, I think He still loves you.

Just keep trying, for in the try,
I am sure, there is the reason why,
The one we all seek,
From week to week,
Whether the weather be bright or bleak.
The meaning in what we do,
To be a better me and be a better you,
No fear.....
By this time next year.

See, I'm not sure, but done is done...there is that kind of, you know when you leave a drawing or whatever and come back to it...tweak this, fiddle with that..(it's the dance the dances bit, childlike? immature?) but I'd have to stop somewhere. So I will.
