Twelve Jars

WISH YOU WERE HERE
A lot of people are very happy
to be where they are,
whether it be away on holidays
or at home in the garden –
With the sun shining as it seems just for them.

HOME SWEET HOME
There is nothing nicer than to be at home,
with your family, in your home
which is just the way you want it!

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
Hope in itself, is what makes al lot of people happy.
Even if things are not as you would want them,
the hope that tomorrow things may change
This hope makes them keep trying
just one more time. Maybe……………….

THE DEVIL YOU KNOW….
Perhaps your life
is not as bad as it may sometimes seem.
If it were to change,
would it then be even worse

ANOTHER MAN’S GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER
It does not matter how nice your garden might be,
there is always one
which is much bigger and much better.
The more you have the more you want.
Some people are never happy.

PUTTING BACK THE PIECES
When your world falls apart it can be quite difficult
to put it back together the way it was.
Some of the pieces may no longer be there.
But with enough time and
enough glue……………..

I WANT TO BE ALONE
Some people have everything!
And yet they lock themselves away,
whether it be a teenager in the family
wanting ”To be left alone”,
a multi-millionaire becoming a total recluse
or you- just wanting some time out.

LEAVING HOME
Leaving a home
is not quite leaving ‘everything’ behind,
but more like us moving our jar to a different location.
We have new outside pressures,
but most of our possessions
and our basic jar goes with us
when we go.
