Joie de-vi-vre--By Beth Winchcombe--England

Joie de-vi-vre

Mine eyes see the beauty of the earth.
My heart radiates love and warmth
to fellow human beings!

I smell the aroma of honeysuckle,
lavender, growing wild in hedgerows.

I feel harsh winds blow upon my face,
burning sun on my body,
granules of sand between my toes...
cooled by waves lapping the seashore!

I breathe deeply, sucking in the atmosphere.
Draining away tension and fear!

The greatest gift of life,
is giving unconditional love.
Friendship means everything to me,
I aim to give angelic purity...

Faith and hope join together,
helping to face stormy weather,
blinding as in a rainbow!

God gave us speech...
...to spread the written word.

Beth Winchcombe is now a retired housewife and enjoys writing poetry, also painting in oils.  She lives in Derbyshire, England.
