For Those Contemplating Suicide

Lord Jesus
Help all those who are suicidal
bring them back from the darkness
and surround them with your healing light
Send a friend who they can talk to
End their loneliness
Ease their pain
Bring them hope
Bring them peace
Give them strength to face another day
and wrap them in your loving embrace
Amen

Amen

Should we not greet
should we not meet
again
if this be the last
I see of thee
or thee of me
then I say farewell
may you be well
may troubles pass thee by
and woes

May joys and laughter
music and peace
thereafter
dwell within
and without
God be with thee
now
and always

Sleep evades me

I closed the door
as the noise of the tractor
was too loud
for this quiet house
full of coughing
and old body sounds
Check the sleeping
for the rise and fall of the breast
Here Romney and Obama
don't matter
Merkel and Enda
can French kiss
Dogs can be dogs
and cats cats
And bank holidays seldom exist
Breakfast and dinner and tea
Are served on time
tablets are eeked out
Red wine is a must
