Here are a few points on what is happening over the last five days

On NY eve alone … seven lives were lost! …. 381 more homes gone!!

one eleven year old led his family to safety;

a dummy sucking child accepted his father’s bravery medal … fire fighting dad is gone;

one elderly neighbour picked up two families from his local caravan park as he watched his home of 50 years burn … he managed to pack 17 people and two dogs into a six person dinghy and get them into the safety of the water;

navy evacuated a thousand people from beach resort areas as roads are not usable.

Survivorship guilt is already strong when some homes survive and others are left with nothing

Today is expected to be the worst yet … many were evacuated the elderly are choosing to stay and one refugee family is staying…

Afterwards

After a day of giving thanks

The night sky’s moon did glow

Before the next day begun

In this commonwealth of man

We celebrate Boxing Day

By continuing an old tradition

Of giving gifts to the poor people

With the annual charity gatherings

Of feasts and presents for the needy

And here today, my sister’s birthday

A family party with more festivities

Again a day of sharing love and happiness

Giving thanks for our togetherness

Chocolate And Strawberry Cake

Chocolate And Strawberry Cake

 

Under a colourful dome

Escaping the four walls of home

Seeking a relaxing coffee break

And a chocolate and strawberry cake

 

To be free, out and about

Leaving behind non-active doubts

Trying to exercise old bones and a weary soul

Not to worry, the brains always too bold

 

Under a cloud of hard knocks

Sailing alone without a windsock

On a calm sea of shimmering blue

Navigating towards the horizon’s final view
