A sit in the sun,

with a lover or a friend;

A drop or two of tranquil,

when the day is at an end.

 

A book, a song, a story,

breaking your heart like a stone;

A stroll engulfed in nature,

when you are on your own.

 

The warm embrace of family,

 the company of kith and kin;

The smile that brings forgiveness,

for a much-regretted sin.

 

The friendly nod from a stranger,

their understanding smile;

The progress of yer ain folk,

for whom you'd go the extra mile.

 

An afternoon in one’s own company,

recuperation from the noise;

An 'out' out night in the city,

the cacophony of the girls and boys.
