Trinity Tidings
Please Tear Here
Please tear here, the packet said, and so I tried and tried,
I tugged and pulled for quite a while; all efforts were defied.
So then at last I took a knife,
Determined I would win,
And after still more struggling
At last - I’d broken in!
Some biscuits were in pieces and I had lots of bits,
But never mind, another job would shortly test my wits.
A tin which needed opening had all that I desired,
A ring-pull on the lid I found was all that I required.
But no, it came away too soon
And broke off in my hand,
I wondered why these things went wrong, I didn’t understand.
A screw-top jar defeated me
And I gave up the fight,
So then I had a cup of tea
And that turned out just right!
New beginnings
The morning brings another day,
But who knows what the day will bring?
It may have opportunities,
A chance to laugh, a time to sing.
And one by one the weeks slip by,
Sometimes they lift and warm the heart,
No matter what they have in store
We make, once more, another start.
The seasons come and swiftly go
And nature has so much to give,
With every change we see around
We learn new ways to love and live.
This life holds challenges for all
And battles for the winning,
The future is our very own,
Enjoy each new beginning!
