5-A-Day

Are you getting your 5-A-Day?
Government advice keeping cancer at bay!
do you raise your heartbeat for 30 minutes,
a brisk jog or by reaching stress limits?
have you done your good deed for the day?
and helped your neighbour across the way?
been in a mood with your partner?
for not remembering the anniversary?
Whatever it is you need to do!
to make yourself feel good about you!
You know what can bring a smile to your face?
to free the child within; with a warm embrace!
Is never give in to external pressure,
relent for a moment or let go of forever!
keep the dream alive and smile at the world,
never let heartache defeat or emotions unfurl,
to a point where no-one can reach you,
where you wish to shrug your mortal coil,
look within, having the strength, breath deeply in,
close your eyes, be at the sandy beach,
feeling warm gentle breeze and midsummer heat,
and feel positive happy childhood memories,
in the days gone by and which used to be,
never ending summers, first loves and beauty,
idealistic thoughts and never a tragedy.
breath in again and feeling so happy,
feel joy in your heart, warmth in your belly,
the world will never always be right,
but you know, you can be in your special place,
where no-one can touch you, but me in this space!
and make love to you on your birthday,
even if only virtually..........
happy birthday
