One person’s bravery is another one’s so what?

Some climb mountains without a single thought,

Others just to get out of bed takes all their mustre,

Life for them can lack any lustre,

I know that feeling well,

When a simple task seems like hell,

Some will say it’s just one of those things,

Look at the positive and what life brings,

There is bravery every day,

Why it’s not obvious who can say?

Well our family weren’t allowed pets,

There was good reason as my family had quite a few debts,

The budget was balanced to keep our heads above water,

There was no room for a pet it would put us in deepwater,

So as a family we did without and it was necessary,

We had each other and we were merry,

But as soon as I got a place of my own,

I visited a rescue centre and chose one who looked all alone,

A dog who wanted me to be his friend,

And all came good and it was a happy end,

My mum was not so happy she never understood why,

But the reality was she loved him just as much as I.

Although a lot I do reveal,

The benefit of convenience seals the deal,

First and Foremost is my Cooking App,

It’s run by a very trustworthy chap,

The second app is rather fun,

It teaches you to sing while going for a run,

My third app is for my quiet time,

Transcendental meditation is truly sublime,

Number four is tricky as it’s a long haul,

But I’m mastering a rather neat Norwegian drawl,

Finally five is an essential for modern life,

The secret of handling interminable strife.

I find hope in streets ,the busy bustle,

People passing looking for their next hustle,

Some look up , some look down,

Some can’t help but wear a frown,

The deal was not what they thought,

Their phone just died of a nasty bot,

The traffic lights stop their flow,

It looks like it might snow,

Then in the distance there is a cry,

Two long lost friends hug and say” Hi!”,

Their happiness is obvious,

The rest of the street quite oblivious,

But I have noticed the happy event,

To me it’s hope and their time is well spent.

Her name was Mary,

In truth she was quite scary,

I’d just arrived in my new role,

I found out she had real soul,

I was used to working with bespoke systems,

I hadn’t really learned microsoftisms,

The apps , the logos, even how to start,

The crash course she gave me proved she had real heart.

I can’t imagine doing anything else now,

You see I have no one to tell me how,

I’m like a free bird following my reason,

There is no one for whom I’ll bow,

That time is over and I never will return,

A salary now is just money to burn,

Now it’s a case of do I buy a fancy urn,

Not that I’m about to die,

But I have no need for that extra slice of pie,

The taxman doesn’t bother me,

I’ll pay as it’s a kind of necessity,

I don’t need to live in the Isle of Man,

Or travel like a Nomad in a Camper Van,

There’s no need for me to hide or run,

Yes, many thanks to Royal London,

They have my back and that’s about it,

They saved me from the work slave pit.

I haven’t picked up a hobby recently as I have two or three already

,

I do them all now and then half-heartedly,

My crocheted shawl says it all,

I’ll take that up again in the fall,

My set of watercolour paints lies upstairs along with my easel I fear,

They haven’t been touched for over a year,

Yes, to start something and never to finish is my life,

To pick something else up would just cause me strife,

My time , it must have more focus,

I’m cursed with distraction and a lot of hocus pocus.

Namaste and Thank you for Reading.🙏
