Connection
It was a night in September
When the harvest moon
Shone more brightly than ever
That the farmers cleverly
Used the extra light to give them more time to do their work
It gave rise and thanks
And appreciation for the simple things
Like the light, the sun and rain
That helped them produce
What was needed
To survive and thrive
Such cycles back in the day
Gave people the moments
to play and connect
With nature’s way
They would use
the growing darkness
through the winter months
To go within, reflect and ponder
What might be next and yonder
Suffice to say
It seems we have moved away
From interacting with nature’s brilliance
That has helped build
the planet’s Resilience…
So don’t give up
There is a way
In the small things
You can do each day
Like look beyond the stars
Feel the energy of the moon
Give thanks for what the day brings
And move away from the gloom…

Invaluable Time
Mum is in the kitchen
Cooking up a feast
Excitement in the air
We are off to the local fair
Farmers gather from all around
The finest produce to be found
Dad is known for his quality lamb
Mum for her best sponge
They always give me sixpence
For helping on the land
Imagine my surprise
When a shiny new shilling
Is placed in my hand
A definite shot at the spinning wheel
To win a prize for mum
A must have hot dog of course
Meet my friends have lots of fun
It is almost dark
As we head off home
Weary and energy spent
Dad won third prize
And happy with that
Mum is beaming,
Wearing a blue-ribbon
On her best hat
We approach our land
And what do I see
The most magnificent harvest moon
in front of me
Shining over our house and farm
As if protecting it from any harm
It is precious to cherish memories
of a past era in time
Now I am old and reminisce
How exquisite to call it mine
