Lisboa

So emotional today
It just won’t go away
Wimbledon finals day part of the reason?
Human spirit at it’s best!
Just back from holiday, perhaps that’s why?
Bad thoughts and stress have gone
Though I prayed and prayed and prayed
Floating on my back in the blue sea
For a dear friend’s wife in a critical state
Portugal was as lovely as it’s people
Friendly, smiling, welcoming
Tuk Tuk driver told us why
Britain came to their aid many years ago
Much to my shame I didn’t know
Back in the office now………..
But I don’t even mind the bills!
Mind and body rested
Faith in humanity restored
Sand between my toes gone now……….
