National Day of Reflection
Today marks one year since the UK went into lockdown and it is also the National Day of Reflection;
I found this poem by Rajan Madhok and his friends so beautiful and so fitting for this day;
Not everything is cancelled
The sun is not cancelled
indeed it is shining brightly
Reading is not cancelled
indeed more enjoyable
Smiling is not cancelled
indeed even if you tried
as one reads the poems
sent by fellow poetry lovers
full of fun, life, celebration
during our virtual session
each sitting in own garden
savouring poems, weather, friendship
Hope is definitely not cancelled
made of sterner stuff
we will overcome this too
and soon....
Whether your reflection of the past has been good or bad, remember that better days are ahead!
All the best,
Dandee
