A few years ago, when I was an avid FB follower, someone sent me a story. It was made into a short movie at some point and I’ve since found several relating the same story acted out by great actors. I wrote the following poem and went in search of one of the “shorts”. I found it and have added it at the end of the poem if you are so inclined to watch. It always brings a tear of joy to my eye. Enjoy 🙂
For it is a moment in time, a gift from one to another, given thoughtfully, freely with understanding and compassion.
A voyage around the world
In technicolour, a story unfurled
So detailed, he laughed and smiled
Taken in, completely beguiled
Every day a new tale spun
After the rain, a radiant sun
Oh how these stories brightened his day
Keeping the sorrow gently at bay
Taking him on a voyage so sweet
His heart felt joyous and replete
With images he could only imagine
Indeed a delightful distraction
