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 care-mi umplu casa
Binecuvantate fie surorile care la 40 de ani inca-mi imprumuta rochiile si pantofii
Binecuvantata fie mama si sacosele ei imense de la supermarket
Binecuvantata fie iubirea mea care schimba vinul rosu pe tigari
Binecuvantate fie prietenele, mai ales cele care stiu sa gateasca
Binecuvantati fie colegii scriitori care mereu isi promoveaza cate o carte
Binecuvantat fie soarele, o poveste din insulele Caraibe,
Binecuvantate fie semipreparatele, direct din microunde pe masa,
Binecuvantate fie vacantele, tigancusi pline de viata,
Binecuvantata fie ploaia care picura pe terasa,
Binecuvantata fie aceasta insula, refugiul meu de pe coasta de sud,
Binecuvantata fie aceasta Anglie unde ma simt implinita.
