Archive of poems by Anne KellyLittle box of miraclesYou gave me a little box of miracles- Australian cards with helpful sayings- notions I can take hold of on a bad day, a kind of pick me up. Today was a bad day to begin with but the card said, the world is my friendly home and pointed me towards good things. The songs of my grandmother, heard before I was six, returning to me in a dream, filling me with wonder and delight. "I've land, I have houses adorned with ivy. I've gold in my pocket and silver as well.." and us swinging and swishing together with music and fun. The world is my friendly home. I remember the student, so shy and reluctant telling me her dream and only because her mother insisted. "Tell her to, go back" I had already decided. Things can happen for her there, She is a wonderful woman. No self esteem, could not take it in - not even fully now. The world is my friendly home! "The sky, an open season, full of wonder! The faces before me, full of joy and pleasure At the launching of my book in Achill I need that box of miracles to keep me going when times get rough I reach for my little pick me up and a whole other vista opens out. by Anne Kelly Archive index | Next poem » |
