Book 20 Page 13
I went for a walk
I went for a walk to see what I could find.
I went for a walk in the sun shine.
I went for a walk to clear my mind.
Thinking of the ‘good’ in mankind.
I met a man who had some kind words to say.
On this beautiful sun shinning day.
I pass a woman in the street,
and we exchanged a smile and a “hello” greet.
I saw the flowers stretching out wide,
as they reached up gloriously to the sky.
I heard the children make their playful sounds,
as they played merrily in the play grounds
I walked on the grass that was lush and green,
and I thought of the good and the beauty I’ve seen.
I went for a walk to clear the cob webs from my brain.
I went for a walk in the sun shine / not in the rain.
I went for a walk, a therapeutic stole,
to get closer in contact with my very own soul.
