Time To Give A Hand
Do you know this man
Small in stature, with a wavering hand
It takes a lot to know this man
In the cold, I’ve been running on wet sand
Rushing to forward money to the local charity stand
Coin I’d gathered from distant poetry lands
And the booklets that flew, over oceans and Central Park bands
Collected from generous readers, who donated to our M.S. brand
Heavy rain’s soaking me, and it’s bleak
I’m feeling unsteady on my freezing feet
There’s a nearby cafe to shelter out of the sleet
A warm and cosy eatery on Pakington street
Rewarding myself to a lunchtime treat
In the Red Radish Cafe, I have soup, Celery and silver-beet
Tiffany greets me, takes my coat, offers me a seat
Then I recite to her, ‘Dreams Of The Heart’, my day is replete
Ivor Steven (c) June 2019

Sounds like a busy day with uncooperative weather! 😉 Glad it ended well! The food looks yummy! 🙂 I often do fundraising for various organizations, and I do volunteer work, too. It’s hard, but rewarding to know we are helping many people.
Thank you for being a giving, caring, loving person, Ivor! 🙂 You are making a positive difference in our world! 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂

Writing my poetry to make money for the MS society is the driving force that keeps me writing, I know my girl is urging me along every step of the way, and I hear I cheering through every song I play, like in todays incredible tune
