At times we need to pause awhile
Turn off that ever-glowing dial
Of our Smart phone, banish stress,
Consider living with much less …
Who wants more gadgets to procure?
Aggressive adverts are no lure;
Do I really need to see
Alerts from Facebook? Leave me be!
I take a walk, admire the trees;
Such precious moments - I need these
To restore the peace I lack,
And put my troubled soul on track.
Is this an age thing? I confess
In Nature I find happiness;
Plus - joy in sharing with a friend
A good book - will never end!
In bushfires you can lose it all
But helped by neighbours, you walk tall;
What matters, when you boil it down
Are friends, not shopping trips in town!
