Simple Abundance

I dare to celebrate
Simple abundance
Enjoying
The value of great care
Distribute more than
Small change to spare
Offer fundamental love to share
Dare to live every breath
Wake up a precious gift
Laying hatchets to rest
Bury pain in a victory chest
Communion
A gift blessed
Sometimes
Money can be
Separated from the rest

Refuge
A sewing room
Can be my refuge
Cutting squires
Building blocks
Counting rows
Easily
Obliterate mistakes
Patch ideas
Review craft news
Wear things
I created with cheer
Frustrated seems
Torn apart
Bright colours
Capture in my heart

A kitchen
Can be my refuge
Chopping fruit and veg
Baking cakes
Counting minutes
Easily
Obliterate mistakes
New configurations
Stew
Congregate
Guests around a simple feast
Scrub stubborn bottoms
Firing
Herbs and spices
Life more flavoured
Special memories
Savoured

A Woman’s Pride
I am proud to be a woman
Mother
Partner
Nurturer
Laughing
Living
Crying
Caring

I am proud to be a woman
Leader
Worker
Follower
Agitator
Protester
Defender
Poor pretender

Am proud to be a woman
Soul sister
Conscientious
Unpretentious
Down to earth
Sometimes loud
Occasionally shy
...
Being a man
I will never
Give a try
