This was the scene of a battle today. Between a 46 yr old man (me, not played badminton in 6 yrs, or any sport for 2) against a 21 year old male (my son, just done sport science degree, plays badminton 3xweek for the last 8 weeks) I was hoping to lose well ...instead I got two wins!

Sharing art ...here's one of the first poems I wrote in a very very long while #poetry #words #love There's more on my blog...I was experimenting on how to share, using handwriting..

My Child
Do you have the courage
To hear
What your soft heart
Wants to say
To feel
What your soft heart wants to feel
To open your soft heart
To wonder today
To fill your soft heart
With light today
Do you have the courage
May you
Try
To receive what your soft heart
Sacred heart
Has
For you today?
