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.

Binecuvantati

Binecuvantati fie copii si nepotii, dezordinea din sufrageria mea
Binecuvantate fie surorile de patruzeci de ani care inca mai imprumuta sutane si pantofi
Binecuvantata fie mama mea si sacosele sale Tesco
Binecuvantat fie iubitul meu care schimba cu tigarile vinul rosu
Binecuvantate fie prietenele, mai ales cele care gatesc
Binecuvantati fie colegii scriitori, care sa-si promoveze cartile reusesc
Binecuvantata fie lumina soarelui, o fabula din Caraibe
Binecuvantate fie mesele preparate, la masa de la microunde
Binecuvantate fie vacantele, petrecerile tiganesti
Binecuvantata fie ploaia care rapaie pe acoperisul serei
Binecuvantata fie aceasta insula, retragerea mea pe Coasta Sudica
Binecuvantata fie aceasta Anglie unde am aterizat in picioare.
