For opinions,
Just be you,
Every individual sees you differently.

I was in the kitchen making dinner,
I was a mess,
My hair dishevelled,
An apron tied around me,
There was no make up on me.
As I stepped into the living room humming off tune,
All eyes were on me.
Oh no! What should I do?
Go back into the kitchen,
I didn't want to embarrass my daughter,
She had come with some important clients for a meeting,
All eyes were on me,
Looking at me quizzically.
Just then she came to my side,
Put her arms around me with a smile,
Meet my mum, the sweetest and most important person in my life.
Tears filled my eyes.

My friend,
Came to school upset,
His father was an  English teacher,
His mother was a judge.
If he didn't do as he was told,
Spoke out of context,
Or did not complete his homework  but watched T.V,
They sentenced him,
He gave him fifty sentences to write,
She sentenced him to no pocket money,
Or no mobile,  laptop or T.V for a week.

Was my neighbour's daughter,
She was blossoming into a beauty day by day,
Her fragrance played havoc with my senses,
So I became her butterfly,
Hovering around her night and day.

I felt me,
Sad, anxious with a heavy heart,
Then I looked at me in the mirror,
Not bad, pretty,
It smiled, quirky,
With a bit of mischief.
Hmm,
I looked back again,
It had confidence,
Gone was the sorrow,
It burst into laughter,
I felt better.

And no play makes Jack a dull boy,
A lazy day a week lessens your stress,
So relax on Sunday,
To start Monday with a burst of energy.

She has to change with the times,
She tells me she has seen many seasons come and go,
Than I,
And now in my time with climate change I change too,
Not to teach an old dog new tricks.
