On turning 40

I am like warm wax emblazoned with the master's seal.
This coming of four decades has caused a shifting in my soul;
a clicking into place, like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle being pushed down;
I am like one , previously unable to see over a wall,
now given a ladder to peer into lands beyond.
I have a deep sense of being perfectly placed in my family of five,
husband, wife and three lovely daughters,
abundant extravagance of blessedness as our souls grow together
bringing a deep peace and contentment,
like calm, flowing mountain streams.

I look forward to going, as the water does, on new journeys
forging a future that will bring life and refreshing to others.

I'm a lover of free verse poetry and cups of tea. The quickest way to energise me is to give me a moment under open sky, preferably in a garden. I love beautiful trees and Purple Crested Lourie birds and making school come alive for my students.
