Choose a world of mystery and magic

Here's an encouraging poem from Patrick Kavanagh:


Help in Troubled Times.     

By Patrick W Kavanagh


Did you ever want to fly away from sorrowful and troubled times?

Have you ever wished that somehow you could soar above life’s cares?

The world is such a lovely place when seen from far above the clouds.

Drawing strength from stillness as you gaze down on the worried crowds.

There is peace in silence. There is joy and beauty in a cloudy day.

Laying in a quiet place to watch the mist-made dragons play.

Our imagination can build castles made for heroes in the sky.

Just as we build the future; although no one knows exactly how, or why.

When your life is too intense and you’re too tired to dream.

We will dream your dreams for you until your dreams come true.

Lay your head upon your hand and let us take you far away,

Into a wondrous world where angels sing, and laughing children play.

Our world is just as real as any world that fills your weary mind.

Close your eyes and take our hand to seek what you may find.

The taste of salt - the cold, wet, smoothness of a pebble from a childhood sunny beach.

The sound of autumn leaves that crinkle in your hand, and other memories beyond your worried reach.

We can take you to that long-forgotten world where everyone can live without a care.

We can raise your spirits with our laughter – we can take you far beyond illusion and despair.

Choose a world of mystery and magic – let imagination build a world that’s full of joy for all.

Trust in Love- for love is all we have to give to you, and love will never let you fall.

Close your eyes and breathe out all the worries and the troubles from your mind.

As you breathe back in – remember all those times when everything worked out just fine.

Every breath you take is victory, and life can be a battle – but a battle you have won a million times.

And, when the time to go has finally arrived, we’ll dance with you until the end of time.
