Below is a poem and picture I used last year at this time….

No Room At The Inn

I crept in slow to catch the scene

As on the pillows they did dream

Of days to come both good and bad

When they would laugh and sometimes be sad

A life ahead of who knows what

To cherish in each moment lost

While they in slumbers lay

And what of me I hear you say

No place where I can come and lay

But happy in this loving sight

My precious gifts tucked up so tight

While they in slumbers lay

The picture above was taken in the winter of 1983/84 when I returned home from night shift to find my place had been taken

I quietly left the room and settled in the spare bedroom for the day.

One of life’s beautiful moments.

A Poem for the promise of a New Year

New Dawn

He woke from the dark place into the light

The sadness had left him in the space that was night

Dawn in her glory had spread all around

While from the birds a chorus did sound

They sang of the beauty to come in the day

With all of its gifts soon on display

Rubbing his eyes to take in the view

He thought of his life now starting anew

The crease of a smile now emerged on his face

Replacing the sorrow which left not a trace

Natures sweet music now filled the air

And all at once he had not a care

Just the breath of being

Thought to Ponder – When a new door opens in your life, don’t wait for an invitation to pass through it. PTT

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

and may the God of your choosing spread his light of Unconditional Love on you each and every one of your days…
