Two very different poems one the joy of a new day, the other a laugh at myself.

In the freshness of the morning

I gazed up to the sky

And watched the early sunrise

As it passed me by

I heard sweet nature’s music

That lilted through the trees

And saw the dripping dewdrops

Cascading from the leaves

I felt a sense of freedom

I’d never felt before

As if somewhere before me

There was an open door

A door into my future

With light beyond compare

And God and all his Angels

Were waiting for me there

And then as if by magic

They simply disappeared

Along with all my worries

And all my silly fears.

For this it was a new day

That could not see the past

And the joys it will bring me

Are mine to keep at last

Ode to an Ego

Some say I’m photogenic

But really I’m quite shy

Though I do look good in pictures

Even if I don’t know why

Perhaps It’s down to fortune

That I look this way

With perfectly perfected

Bone structure on display

It’s good that I am modest

And never really gloat

About the gifts I’m given

From forehead down to throat

A petal of such beauty

A prize in natures den

Quick someone pass a mirror

So I can look again

Marvelous…..
