Oh! What a Grey Day !!
I wake up to another grey morning,
Grey sky, grey buildings,
Grey roads, grey people.
Grey me.
My grey mood.
Choose to be happy.!! (I tell myself.)
Easy to say, but when l feel grey,
Too tired to fight to lift my mood,
The pain of my body holds back my joy.
I remain grey.
My grey mood.
Tablets, injections, medicine, rest,
Excercise , yes..... go on... go on ....
Pain makes me grey on this kind of day.
Grey me!
My grey mood.
Others have cancer, tumours and such,
people are starving, homeless and worse..
My empathy for all of these...
Still doesn't take the grey away from me..
Ah! Here comes the rain adding more grey,
Heavily hitting the ground.
I imagine the ocean, crashing waves that l love.
Yet even my precious ocean, today will be grey.
Grey sky, grey ocean, grey me.
My grey mood.
Look around my room, photographs and books.
Children, grandchildren smiling out at me.
Then one tiny face that l see and remember
Ollie, l wrote "You painted a smile on my heart".
Oh! Beautiful boy who caused me to write those words,
They must have been written in permanent ink
My first great grandchild, how can l be grey?
Though he lives far away.
My grey mood ...Grey!
It must go away.
Thank you little Ollie... You are far away
But just looking at your picture will chase away the grey.
Grey me, My grey mood.
