52 WEEKS OF THANKFULNESS – WEEK 44 – CELEBRATING WORLD BOOK DAY

Thank you for all the things we’ve had
Him Indoors, son and K plus my mother
Brothers and sister and all their families, too
We’re all healthy, I have to add

Add to that the places we’ve been
Last week we were in Bamberg that was fun
And in June, we’d be in the UK and Malta
Problems, we take it on the chin

Chin up for all the love we’ve got
Our friends and families are always there
Thank you social media for sharing all our news
And all the things we have besought

Besought heaven and earth for peace
Let there be kindness and understanding
No matter what the differences are, there is hope
This poem I share as my piece*
