Peace In My Pocket

Just a little encouragement (for mums and dads) to go outside...



There is peace in my pocket-
it smells of morning air-
of sunbeams pointing upwards,
light shining everywhere.

There is peace in my pocket-
crisp freshness like the breeze-
invigorating newness,
unveiled for all to see.

There is peace in my pocket-
as shiny as the rain-
sparkles springing off the puddles,
a sopping wet terrain.

There is peace in my pocket-
it sounds like howling wind-
a heavenly, rattling opera
nature's orchestrated din.

There is peace in my pocket-
though sometimes I forget-
tempestuous storms surround me,
a heavy blanket-
yet…

Once the door is open
the outside comes right in-
it’s then that I remember
the peace I keep within.
