Maggie Harris

Blessed

Blessed be the children and grandchildren, clutter in my front room
Blessed be forty-year old sisters still borrowing frocks and shoes
Blessed be my mother and her Tesco’s carrier bags
Blessed be my lover swapping red wine for fags
Blessed be girlfriends especially those who cook
Blessed be fellow writers, always plugging their books
Blessed be sunshine, a Caribbean fable
Blessed be ready meals, from microwave to table
Blessed be holidays, gypsies on the hoof
Blessed be rain pinging on the conservatory roof
Blessed be this island, my South Coast retreat
Blessed be this England where I landed on my feet.

Binecuvantare

Binecuvantati fie copiii si nepotii ce fac larma in salon
Binecuvantate fie surorile de patruzeci de ani ce inca imprumuta un palton
Binecuvantata fie mama si pungile ei de la Tesco
Binecuvantat fie-mi iubitul ce da vinul rosu pe tutun
Binecuvantate fie iubitele, mai cu seama cele ce gatesc
Binecuvantati fratii scriitori ce opera si-o proslavesc
Binecuvantate fie razele soarelui ce-n Caraibe abunda
Binecuvantate fie semipreparatele gata-ntr-o secunda
Binecuvantate fie vacantele, tiganii in caravane
Binecuvantata fie ploaia picurand pe-acoperis si pe obloane
Binecuvantata si aceasta insula, oaza mea de pe Coasta de Sud
Binecuvantata fi Anglie unde-n picioare am cazut.
