TAKE ME HOME – JESS GLYNNE
MAKE THE MOST OF WINTER'S WAYS
Within my inner sanctum I grow stronger
and wonder what the weather's like outside
the fiery storms; the rumbling of distant thunder
I wonder if it even now subsides
my tears no longer fall like rain from Heaven
the salt dries on my cheeks as with the wind
I venture out my toe to test the water
and let the temperature so pleasurable outside in
for some it may seem cold and Winter's answer
makes retreat a necessary part of this season's days
but for me who missed the Spring and then the Summer
I need to make the most of Winter's ways
so I took myself to look at my sweet ocean
that to some may seem so bleak and perhaps grey
but for me it holds such beauty beyond all reason
as I breathe in all the goodness of this bay
a seagull, just like me; he tests the water
to see if it will feel good 'neath his feet
like the pathway that I choose from this day onwards
to rise above it all and not concede defeat
I smile at him, but he is quite oblivious
a world apart and yet our worlds collide
his world is big enough to reach me and include me
and I'm content to share; be by his side
with each of us it is the same, my thoughts run through me
if we are strong to stand alone, but then
how much stronger we are when we can stand together
overlapping arm in arm we know, we ken
in quiet times it's nice to have some lone time
and to know that we are not alone is good
to have a friend who always makes us welcome
and not a stranger in our neighbourhood
I always think about a passing stranger
may one day turn to me and be my friend
so I try to help and be kind to every person
I win some and I lose some but in the very end
success is built upon the risk of trying
to make ourselves go to that extra mile
and peace begins with one thing, I'm sure of
yes, peace begins with just a single smile : 0)
