Poem

With the longer sunny days teasing us all, about a beautiful summer yet to come, Am I so wrong in hoping that this year will bring us all a long and glorious one.

I know there is so much pain and suffering going on in the world all around, Does that make me selfish to hope for a summer in which my inner peace may be found?

The thought of relaxing and laughing with a cool drink in hand, May seem barbaric to some and hard to understand.

Of course I condone the atrocities carrying on causing such pain and destruction, to a country only guilty of where it lays, Though after two years of our own sorrow, I can’t help but long for my own warm happy days.

Am I so wrong to want a time of laughter and fun with my family and friends, A time for which I can dare to dream and let lose without a feeling of guilt and need to make amends.

I do have such empathy and concern for all the people forced into a war, But isn't feeling free and happy, what they are all actually fighting for.

Surely it would be wrong to deny our freedom of choice and ability to let loose and have fun, And to enjoy travelling and holidays that for two years, our own little battles has prevented them from being done.

Life is short so we should all enjoy it when we can, taking in precious memories should they appear, That to me, isn't being selfish or oblivious to another’s plight ,but making the most of life while it is here.
