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.

Binecuvantarea

Fie binecuvantati copiii si nepotii, dezordinea din camera de zi
Fie binecuvantate surorile de patruzeci de ani care inca imprumuta rochii si pantofi
Fie binecuvantata mama si sacosile ei de la Tesco
Fie binecuvantat iubitul meu care schimba vinul rosu pe tigari
Fie binecuvantate prietenele, mai ales cele care gatesc
Fie binecuvantati colegii scriitori care-si fac reclama cartilor
Fie binecuvantata stralucirea soarelui, o fabula din Caraibe
Fie binecuvantate mesele gata preparate, din cuptorul cu microunde si de pe masa
Fie binecuvantate vacantele, tiganii aflati pe drum
Fie binecuvantata ploaia ce cade zgomotos pe acoperisul serei
Fie binecuvantata aceasta insula, adapostul meu de pe coasta sudica
Fie binecuvantata aceasta Anglie unde am avut succes.
