COMPASSION

Caring for those we come across.
Offering sympathy where there's loss.
Murmuring words of soft compassion.
Pressing a hand in a friendly fashion.
Asking a question that's just right.
Sensing the pain of another's plight.
Sympathy? No it's so much more;
It's caring for the weak and poor;
Outsiders deserve compassion too;
Need to be helped. They're needing You.

WINTER WEATHER

The winter weather's looking grim

Yet still the hardy swimmers swim!

The waves are frothy, wild and high

Under a grey and heavy sky.

The coal-ships labour way off-shore,

Awaiting storms that are in store.

The gulls beat wings against the weather......

And hardy swimmers swim together.
