Poems by
Iris Elizabeth Sankey-Lewis
When Blues or Boredom Strikes Take a snooze and wake up Saying yes to actions of worth, Fresh your mind at ease Your walk brisk with exercise, Be kind to you and someone else Read the Bible and Oprah Magazine, Or simply read, write, or hum a tune. Think things through with visualization Rather than working at them randomly. Pennies saved are pennies earned For family, friends, strangers, and you. Listen to your body when eating So as to stay clear of uncomfortable gorging. Find you soft-spoken folks They’ll make you want for more of Their soothing voice. Get in touch with family, friends, or acquaintances By phone or cards just because. Be at peace with you and me And see laughter as aphrodisiac.
Did You Know Did you know? Thoughts you hold Can make you strong Or steer you wrong? Did you know? That in your hand Is a magic wand? To wake up your world With joy and wonder? Do you pray? With the rising sun Or do you chase the North Wind That blows things asunder? Have you weighed The weight of things You need? For your Measure becomes your treasure. Did you know? You’re like a decorated door Created with your own key? See to it!
