Lie Sense.
~~~~~~~
At what stage does exaggeration turn to lies
To say I will love you until the end of time
A lie by any other name is still a lie.
But adulation must have licence to survive
In future should my solid truth be tested
Lie or deceive ? Opinion is requested
The guilt edge way redemption can be blessed
That lie by no means is ever worth accepting.

Crow
Some want to redistribute wealth
Perhaps instead we should redistribute love
Then wealth would redistribute itself
A (hopefully non partisan) thought for election day

Peace prayer  
For Christmas 2018.

Peace within you,
Peace beside you,
Peace below you,
Peace behind you,
Peace in front of you,
Peace above you,
Peace all around you.

Sea Eagles. A limerick

Some Sea Eagles that I know nearby
Backwards and forwards these birds do fly
Their nests in a tree
And so close to me.
The wonders of nature so  defined.

On the eve of Christmas Day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the eve of Christmas Day
Now’s the time to celebrate

Then spare a moment now to pray
Have new thoughts that will take shape
Ethereal in a timeless way

Expect me to reiterate
Virtues come alive at Christmas
Entreating faith be at your gate

Onward with hope the peace be kept
Families at peace with food on the plate

Charity begins at home in every state.
Remember spare a prudent thought for friends
In passed injustices denied a place
So raise a glass on Christmas Eve
Thoughts of families of long ago
Mothers ,Fathers, Uncles Aunts
A cousin that has recently passed
Sadness’s banish from your temperance

Dedicate your Christian Holiday then
And carry to that next year cycle
Your love of Mankind .....that is vital.
