Sun glinting off silvered wheels
Skin glistening, legs pumping
Hair ruffled and yellowed
Laughter in the air
***
Friends surround me,
Taking turns to lead the way
Telling jokes at one another’s expense
Laughing throughout the day
***
Shorts and T-shirt dressed
Lightly tanned and healthy
No worries or fears
They're for other days
***
Time whirls like silvered wheels
From that time to this
Now dreams are all I have
Of those wonderful days
***
Still, such a joyous time I had then
The memories still burning bright
Keep me warm when times are tough
And I struggle through the night
***
Sun glinting off silvered wheels
Skin glistening, legs pumping
Hair ruffled and yellowed
In that joyous time

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.
